Sleeping Waters
Une série commencée à Paris et terminée à Lombok, en Indonésie. Sans savoir exactement pourquoi, je suis fascinée depuis très longtemps par le conte de "La Belle au Bois Dormant" : peut-être suis-je touchée par cette silencieuse maturation qui s'opère dans les brumes d'un rêve ? Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, ce conte résonne en moi : je m'endors à Paris et je m'éveille dans les mers du bout du monde...
Sleeping Waters
This series was started in Paris and finished in Lombok, Indonesia. Without knowing exactly why, I've been fascinated for a very long time by the tale of "Sleeping Beauty": maybe I'm touched by this silent maturation that occurs in a misty dream? Today, more than ever, this tale sounds familiar to me: I fall asleep in Paris and wake up under the sea, at the end of the world...
Over time, water became much more than just a nice background : "When you immerse yourself in the water, you immediately enter a complete new world. Even a simple pool is a kind of rabbit hole to me : it allows me to go in Wonderland on a single breath hold."
In order to work on an equal basis with her models, Charlotte always uses apnea during her underwater photoshoots.
