BIBI ANDERSSON AND LIV ULLMANN - Lot 116
BIBI ANDERSSON AND LIV ULLMANN During the shooting of Ingmar Bergman's film "Persona", 1966. Photo, vintage silver print, annotated on back. 17.7 x 23.8 cm. Note: A particularly strong image from the shooting of Ingmar Bergman's major film Persona, considered one of the most radical and influential works of modern cinema. The composition, based on a play of focus opposing a sharp profile in the foreground (Bibi Andersson) to a blurred face in the background (Liv Ullmann), visually translates the film's central themes: duality, dissolution of identity, psychological tension between two female figures. This type of image goes beyond the simple shooting document to reach a truly plastic dimension. The tight framing, lack of identifiable scenery and sculptural light give the photograph an aesthetic akin to the auteur photographic portrait, characteristic of Bergman's cinema of the 1960s. Vintage photographs related to Persona are particularly sought-after due to the film's cult status in the history of European auteur cinema. They are of interest to film collectors, photography enthusiasts and institutions alike, for their aesthetic and intellectual significance. The slightly panoramic format and emotional intensity of the scene reinforce the impact of the image, which is a rare testimony to the collaboration between Bergman and his two major actresses.
