"After the retrospective that the Centre Pompidou in Metz dedicated to me, I saw in the project of Libération the opportunity to re-enroll in the present time. The choice of this front page was obvious. The massive demonstration that followed the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo embodies in my eyes the democratic act par excellence. It is the expression of an individual and responsible word, multiplied : one goes out into the street and says what one thinks. This image of a parade marked me by the ideals it conveys. It shows a positive indignation, even though there may be shadows on the picture. I love these acts of anonymous crowds. For this front page, I used the visual "MEMEPASTEUR" that I designed for the Mac Val facade, as part of the "Ad Nauseam" exhibition. It echoed the audiovisual installation confronting the public to a book-breaking factory, within the museum. "Not even afraid" to exhibit, "not even afraid" to speak, write, draw, commit myself: this inscription took on an unexpected magnitude with the events of January 7. I have often been described as a committed artist. But I don't define myself as such, because I don't belong to any party and I have always claimed my freedom. I feel closer to the notion of citizenship, which for me is an attitude towards life. To be a citizen is to live with my eyes open to the world. I have been working for 50 years in connection with history and current events. What interests me is the personal experience of these events. I am a fighter. I am the daughter of resistance fighters. My father died for the Resistance in the Vercors. Defending freedom of expression is a permanent struggle, which particularly affects me as a woman. It is still essential today to mobilize. Every demonstration strengthens democracy. »
