Banks of Seine are a regular source of subjects. Always shown deserted, they carry theyr own symbolism.
Padlocks of lovers in the Pont des Arts can be located at the same place where suicidals are jumping into the River Seine... Shadows and lights never stop to interact each other. There is some destinies that can be only tragic.
"Au fond de la Seine, il y a de l’or
Des bateaux rouillés, des bijoux, des armes…
Au fond de la Seine, il y a des morts
Au fond de la Seine, il y a des larmes"
text set to music by Kurt Weill in 1934, sung by Marianne Faithfull in 1996.
Poem suggested by Roselyne Chevalier.
