(…) There, at the moment I’m taking a lot of photos of the rue de Verneuil as it will escape me and suddenly it’s only objects, no otherwise, it’s like drawing, I need faces or bodies”she confided, specifying that when she was younger, she had a darkroom in which she let her pictures develop: “There was a little shed in the garden of my mother’s house in Paris, when I was 15-16 years old and I loved the magic of development. After the draw, I was not very good and I had not persevered ».
After being poured out on the photography, Charlotte Gainsbourg approached the drawing. A passion that she has however somewhat neglected in recent years. “It’s by period in fact, the piano and the drawing, it’s either I become very obsessive and I do a lot or I stop completely. Drawing, since I left New York, I can’t do it, but it’s true that before I drew my daughter, my youngest, at night in her sleep. I have always made children who sleep. I had started with my sister Lou (Doillon, editor’s note), when she was 4 years old, because I was at a drawing school, so I was really into drawing and I had drawn her several times and after sleeping kids are my thing”she continued.
