SALMAN RUSHDIE

A PICTURE WITH HISTORY

When situations call on a picture

In 2014 I photographed author Salman Rushdie.

Sir Ahmad Salman Rushdie (born June 19 1947 in Bombay, India) is especially known for “The Satanic Verses”.

Now a situation in New York call for these pictures taken at the Hans Christians Andersen literary awards in Odense, Denmark, 2014.

Salman Rushdie was attacked and stabbed seriously at an arrangement in New York with obviously very low security. He has been living with dead threads since a fatwa was called on him after releasing the book earlier. 

When writing this Rushdie is hospitalised and under treatment.

ET BILLEDE MED EN HISTORIE

Når en historie kalder på et foto

I 2014 fotograferede jeg forfatteren Salman Rushdie.

Sir Ahmad Salman Rushdie (født 19 juni 1947 i Bombay, Indien) er særligt kendt for “De sataniske Vers”.

Nu er der sket en ulykkelig hændelse i New York, som kalder på de her billeder igen. De er taget i forbindelse med uddelingen af HCA litteraturprisen i 20014 i Odense.

Salman Rushdie er i skrivende stund indlagt på hospitalet og under behandling efter et alvorligt knivoverfald i New York ved et arrangement med tydelig manglende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger.

Ruhdie har levet med dødstrusler lige siden en Fatwa blev udstedt efter bogen “De sataniske Vers” blev udgivet.
