The actress recently reflected on her experience as guest editor for Les Inrocks, a French cultural magazine known for its artistic and literary focus. She recalled being surprised when asked to take on the role, as she felt it was not her usual responsibility. However, she found a personal connection between the word "editor" and "actress," highlighting the creative overlap between the two roles.
During her time with Les Inrocks, she appreciated the magazine's coverage of influential artists like Cindy Sherman and Björk, who she described as major figures of the past few decades. When asked who she would feature on the magazine's cover, she humorously suggested herself but then proposed featuring someone more elusive, like the reclusive writer Thomas Pynchon or the enigmatic designer Martin Margiela. These choices reflect her interest in artists who remain in the background, often unseen but deeply influential.
The actress also discussed what continues to inspire her, including attending the cinema, theater, and reading books, as well as the power of imagination and poetry. She believes that culture should be seen as a form of combat, a way to resist the decline she has observed in cultural funding and support. She noted that despite these challenges, imagination and poetry cannot be destroyed.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Les Inrockuptibles, the magazine has compiled testimonies from over 250 artists and actors who share their memories and experiences with the publication. This special issue honors the enduring impact of Les Inrocks on the cultural landscape and its role in supporting and showcasing creative talent over the years.
