Josef Koudelka's photograph of a murder suspect, taken in Czechoslovakia in 1963, is part of a traveling exhibition now on view in Arles, France.
At 64, the Czechoslovakian-born photographer Josef Koudelka has simplified his life to essentials: taking pictures, just taking pictures.
"He was soon making photographs of theater performances, right onstage among the actors, during rehearsals. He once said that this experience had taught him to see the world as theater, and that photographing Gypsies a little later was theater, too. "The difference," he added, "was that the play had not been written and there was no director; there were only actors."[August 18, 2002 Arts: A Vagabond Who Sees the World Starkly NYT By VICKI GOLDBERG]
