LE FIGARO – When and how is born your passion for photo?

ANNY DUPEREY – I bought my camera, a Leicaflex-to-cell incorporated in 1971. I say «my» because that has always. I knew that my father had been a photographer. And I kept carefully under my bed its negatives that I had never watched. I waited for a great friend of Corrèze offers me to devote an exhibition of all my photos, a sort of biography in black-and-white as the angle of the photographic heritage. It is strange because I discovered that the photos of my father were similar to mine. I hear the aesthetic point of view. It is strange, no?

Is your taste for the painting helped you to photography?

In my book The dream of my mother I wouldn’t say that I was a painter. It was my first destination. I studied at the Beaux-Arts in Rouen, and I was going to integrate the painting section at the time where I’ve branched off into comedy. It is possible that through the photo, I have been able to otherwise reveal my passion for beauty. But I think, in the words of Boris Cyrulnik, that when we are resilient, we must save despair, black there are two main ways in which empathic: either one turns to the social, we turn to the item to Capture the interiority of the other, it is a way of art.

We could have foreseen the terrible disease, multiple sclerosis, which eventually took his life twenty years later. I also have a memory of a wonderful relationship with my friend, Maurice Chevit. He had so much confidence in me that one day he asked me to develop the negative, unique, a photo of his parents, who had died in the nazi concentration camps.

This twenty years that you sponsor the SOS children’s Village. Why this commitment is so expensive?

After the demise of my parents, my sister and I were separated. This wound will be incurable. This is why the association SOS children’s Villages, which aims to bring together siblings of the orphans is essential in order to give a chance to beings-damaged, bruised, forever. I know this because my little sister has always wanted that I photograph to write a story, our common history after this child together that we had been stolen forever.
