Mademoiselle, voulez-vous danser la mazurka?

Queridas Senhoras,

imagens que davam livros escrevem-se-me na pele como tatuagens. Estas, do fotógrafo Andy Freeberg, davam livros mesmo sem sabermos mais nada sobre elas. Mas a verdade é que sabemos.

Esta sessão fotográfica intitula-se 'Guardians of Russian Art Museums'. O fotógrafo explica:

«In the art museums of Russia, women sit in the galleries and guard the collections. When you look at the paintings and sculptures, the presence of the women becomes an inherent part of viewing the artwork itself. I found the guards as intriguing to observe as the pieces they watch over. In conversation they told me how much they like being among Russia’s great art. A woman in Moscow’s State Tretyakov Gallery Museum said she often returns there on her day off to sit in front of a painting that reminds her of her childhood home. Another guard travels three hours each day to work, since at home she would just sit on her porch and complain about her illnesses, “as old women do.” She would rather be at the museum enjoying the people watching, surrounded by the history of her country.» Andy Freeberg


Começando pelo fim, esta senhora sentada ao lado das outras senhoras que estão sentadas à espera da dança trouxe-me à memória uma canção da infância, de uma noite de brincadeiras em Marinhais, a Didinha a mascarar-nos com roupas da tia Antonieta e a ensinar-nos danças palacianas... Lembras-te, Pati?
