LOLA DUPRÉ
What made you decide you want to become an artist?
When i was very young, first i wanted to be a writer,
then a sculptor, then an artist working in 2D. I wanted
to express myself, this was my motivation.
Why did u gave up on your dream to become a
writer? Have you written anything?
I don’t think i was very good at it, I wrote a 25 page
psychedelic poem when i was a teenager. It was truly
awful but i thought it was great at the time. I tried to
get it published at the time but it was thrown back
in my face. One copy of it still exists.. but I am very
tempted to destroy it once and for all.
Do you easily find photographers to collaborate with?
Sometimes, i often meet enthusiastic photographers,
but a lot of them never get past the planning stage
for various reasons. I am always looking to meet
new talented photographers with a vision. I have
collaborated several times with the photographer
Kristiina Wilson, and i have more projects underway
with her. She’s great, and i very much admire her
work and work-ethic.
Why don’t you have a portrait of yourself?
I’m shy, and i’m working up to doing a portrait of
myself when i feel ready.
