through. we begin though with an exhibition and just pulled off of pisa limburg photography which he himself put together just before his death last september limburg was one of the most influential photographic office of his generation working almost exclusively in black and white he's perhaps best known as the models like campbell and cindy crawford to supermodel status but as the exhibition shows he was so much more than just a fashion photographer. untold stories was peter lindbergh's farewell a retrospective of his work he spent 2 years working on the german photographer's friends and colleagues came to decide off to celebrate his legacy it's the 1st exhibition written by a curated himself and tragically also. in

books selected the works he chose the works that meant the most to him so this really is a display of his legacy. and some it was. peter lindbergh was a fashion photographer who was never really interested in fashion he liked to shoot in black and white stripping away glossy surfaces and pioneering a more naturalistic style it was the personality of his models that fascinated him as an artist he was always in pursuit of authenticity. i think that wrinkles and experience reflective in face is much more interesting than what people are used to seeing today. was never obsessed by new for his models included older icons such as french actress shannon novel he was inspired by self-confident strong women and how to read ability to capture the soul

of some of the world's most photographed women like hollywood stars uma thurman and nicole kidman. and in return they appreciated that he liked them to be real and natural eye. is unpretentious approach made him many famous friends in the industry one that was worlds away from his hometown of 2 spot in western germany. i see the man. be the limber if the. shish. yeah the contact you have to touch people and they can you can tell that's not that's not a point there's no longer here. here. peter lindbergh's photos tell of human vulnerability they question the superficiality of show business they tell stories. who ever he was

photographing he always managed to get to that very. office and a spy is roman polanski's latest film has just been nominated for 12 seasons the french oscars but it's the film has been subject to a backlash after polanski himself related the plot of the film to his own sexual abuse case back in 1900 g.s. and further accusations of harassment and assault against him now have more recently come to light i'll be talking about the film and the controversy surrounding it with my colleague mike a cougar after her report why don't you back the classic. also not fixed on me some good comedies no. you can say to get your mental did you simply should you call that me. i think that is you know me i think if i fake or only

proposed. guilty a military court convicts an officer or 3 kept in power for dreyfus is publicly humiliated and sent to prison. that is for you that you should pray for us is jewish the evidence against him is not just weak it's fabricated. even when the real german spy is exposed the authorities do nothing to overturn the false conviction it's a true story from a park fronts high flying lieutenant colonel george works to uncover the judicial scandal he's more concerned about the principle of justice then the fights of the jewish oversaw. but soon he becomes the hunted. in an age of resurgent anti semitism the film has struck a chord many critics have hailed the film as another polanski masterpiece.

but polanski is making headlines for all of the reasons. krueger who did not report just enough did i just see roman polanski in the world very good yes it was indeed a cameo he was the guy with a moustache oh ok. before we talk about controversies let's talk about the film it's got all getting awards all being nominated for awards so it's seems to be pretty good yeah it's a very narrative driven film with a very strong story and it's also about fake news we all know about today yes the movie has already won prizes for example at the venice film festival he's also nominated for the european film awards and. a couple of days ago it was announced that he is nominated for 12th the most important french film award and that is the

most nominations this year absolutely so it's quite successful in the when the president of the x. i mean this is out a lot says yeah was asked about the controversy he just set well we're not the forum for to buy it but that doesn't mean that there isn't a while polanski was celebrated women's groups have a really. raised against him even when the protesters but kept away from him here we are there were some of them if wright was an odd give all the seasons to ski tweeted for example one of the french women's groups so it took a while for me to movements to take off in france but here we go in the recent years that behavior from celebrity was often kind of smile the way even stars like cats and enough she was speaking read it against open it against the movement but in the meantime she changed her mind now polanski has said the persecution of

dreyfus is similar to his hounding by the authorities concerning allegations of sexual abuse against him he claims to be a victim of course this is met with quite a lot of criticism absolutely but he refers to the new accusations another woman. has just come forward who claimed to have also been raped and beaten as a young woman by him but in this new case he rejects all accusations he said this is ridiculous and in a recent interview with the. newspaper he said the public wants to turn him into a monster even census intrigue and that he sees the parallels with dreyfus he also said that he doesn't want to identify with him this would be too much but i have to say. it seems so he does see himself as the victim. it's already known in the case it myths of being guilty when he expelled from the oscar committee in 2018 he appealed against it. very briefly the anti semitic aspect

absolutely in the case of. polanski using his jewishness to cry wolf well he is not just jewish he's so vise the ghetto in poland he lost family members and bosh oh and when he things history could repeat and this attitude i think is really credible michael as always thank you caesar's will will there on the 28th of will be the final all absolutely how many seasons he wins all doesn't win that fight. now an exhibition in the coding styles in the swiss city of zurich that makes us think about the relationship we have with op planet has been the overriding topic of danish icelandic. in recent years and is not all doom and gloom with lights lasers and installations on a grand scale a song explores how we should co-exist with our planet and how art can help.

the exhibition symbiotic scene comprehends human beings as part of a larger system artist are left for us on explores our relationship with the natural world with work that has a powerful emotional and sensory impact. see it clings to the contrary i'm thinking about culture in general is often a physical a sensual experience it doesn't just appeal to you rationally it's about coexistence you might experience it with other people in a certain context or place experiencing art isn't the same as reading about something in the paper size will listen to the exhibition proposes an idea of the world based on coexistence and collaboration rather than competition. tuesday

with the modern world and the history that has brought us to where we are today says it's backfired we need to rethink things given the way things are going the planet won't be able to survive much longer i was hope of. extending over more than 1000 square meters this show in 08 critically interrogates the relationship in hierarchy between humans and other species on earth in september 2980 s. and was appointed a goodwill ambassador for climate action by the un and with his installations and sculptures he invites us to reflect on climate change as a consequence if human action and to contemplate other way of existing. maybe it's necessary and maybe it's actually not a bad idea to give flora and fauna more of a central position on an equal footing with human. and plenty of people are

thinking like this and working towards it scientists and philosophers are the only ones looking at overhauling existing systems muson here in his balanced studio he works with a launch team of specialists in fields spanning design architecture research and multimedia as well as creating aunts they develop social projects such as the little sun and palette by affordable solar energy instead of fossil fuels. is needed as this whole to me the idea of hope is very central as the german artist gerhard richter once said is the highest form of hope and i believe that. and as engines of change that's the message at the heart of this luminous lovely exhibition in.
