Seductress Laetitia? |
Séductrice Laetitia ? |
AD: Aren't you seductress? |
Anne Diatkine: |
LC: No, I do not think so. We do not have at all the same psychic functioning both of them, and indeed thanks to this space that the game was possible. At Bardot, it is equally a need to love than to appeal. |
Laetitia Casta: |
I have other stuffs, but not the need to be loved at all costs. I tend to even disappear when a situation does not interest me. Unlike Bardot, I never relied on my appearance physical to exist. I am taking the liberty to say it only because she makes no secret. |
J’ai d’autres trucs, mais pas le besoin d’être aimée à tout prix. J’aurais même tendance à pouvoir m’effacer quand une situation ne m’intéresse pas. Contrairement à Bardot, je n’ai jamais compté sur mon physique pour exister. Je me permets de le dire uniquement parce qu’elle n’en fait pas mystère. |
I felt neither beautiful nor ugly. In any event, the parallel does not hold, because the time has nothing to do. Bardot could shock choosing her lovers and chucking them... Scandal that would not exist today, where the position of women has changed anyway. |
Moi, je ne me sentais ni belle ni moche. De toute manière, le parallèle ne tient pas, car l’époque n’a rien à voir. Bardot pouvait choquer en choisissant ses amants et en les larguant... Scandale qui n’existerait pas aujourd’hui, où la place de la femme a quand même changé. |

AD: You spoke about "repugnance" with regard to showing the sexuality. Did playing this role change you? |
Anne Diatkine: |
LC: Yes. It allowed me to exorcise small injuries dating back to my beginnings. Living in New York, at 19 years old, was a chance for the girl enough ignorant I was, and I will never forget this feeling of freedom: the happiness of having my apartment and to be taken in the rhythm and energy of the city. |
Laetitia Casta: |
At the same time, I had trouble against the female body. As I was not sure what to do of this new body that, after all, had arisen recently, I started drawing a lot of nudes. When one is a model, one is led to be shot undressed. But the nudity touches to the fragility. One is never so dependent to the photographer's eye, which may be unhealthy or very beautiful. Sometimes a look is so kind that one no longer feels the need to hide oneself. Everyone should be able to do this experience when you no longer need to hide yourself because the nudity becomes natural. |
En même temps, j’étais assez mal vis-à-vis du corps féminin. Comme je ne savais pas trop quoi faire de ce nouveau corps qui, somme toute, avait surgi récemment, je me suis mise à dessiner beaucoup de nus. Quand on est mannequin, on est amené à faire des photos déshabillées. Or la nudité touche à la fragilité. On n’est jamais aussi dépendant de l’oeil du photographe, qui peut être très malsain ou magnifique. Parfois, un regard est si bienveillant qu’on n’éprouve plus le besoin de se cacher. Tout le monde devrait pouvoir faire cette expérience où l’on n’a plus besoin de se dissimuler, car la nudité redevient naturelle. |
