НовостиЖурнал Time объединил лица Путина и Трампа на новой обложке

Журнал Time представил обложку своего нового выпуска под названием «The Summit Crisis» («Кризис саммита»), посвящённого недавней встрече Владимира Путина и Дональда Трампа в Хельсинки. На снимке издание объединило лица политиков в один портрет.

«Через полтора года после прихода [Трампа] к власти нам всё ещё предстоит разгадать его загадочную симпатию к Путину, — говорится в письме редактора. — Трампа по-прежнему обижает осознание того, что попытка российских властей вмешаться в выборы могла ослабить его победу. Он до сих пор не может признать того факта, что Россия действительно пыталась на них повлиять — вне зависимости от конечного исхода выборов».

Автором обложки стала художница Нэнси Бёрсон — по её словам, она хотела подтолкнуть читателя к размышлению о сходстве двух политиков.

At first glance, the man on our July 30, 2018, cover might seem familiar: it was created by morphing images of two of the world’s most recognizable men, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The composite image, by visual artist @nancyburson, is meant to represent this particular moment in U.S. foreign policy, following the pair’s recent meeting in Helsinki. As our senior White House correspondent Brian Bennett writes in this week’s cover story: “A year and a half into his presidency, Trump’s puzzling affinity for #Putin has yet to be explained. #Trump is bruised by the idea that Russian election meddling taints his victory, those close to him say, and can’t concede the fact that Russia did try to interfere in the election, regardless of whether it impacted the outcome. He views this problem entirely through a political lens, these people say, unable or unwilling to differentiate between the question of whether his campaign colluded with #Russia—which he denies—and the question of whether Russia attempted to influence the election.” Burson, who became well known for developing a technique to age faces, which is used by the FBI to find missing children, says the goal of her latest composite is to help readers “stop and think” when it comes to similarities between the two leaders. “What my work has always been about is allowing people to see differently,” she tells TIME. “The combining of faces is a different way for people to see what they couldn’t see before.” Read this week's full cover story on TIME.com.
