READING
‘It was March 1975 and I was taking photographs in Paris.
One afternoon I went up the Bastille and I saw two lovers on a
balcony. They were standing very near each other. They were
talking. I took just one photo and they didn’t hear me. I called it
Lovers at the Bastille. Luckily for me this photo became very
popular in France. Soon posters and postcards with my
picture of the two lovers were everywhere. But I never knew
who the two young people were. They never contacted me.’
‘30 years later I had an exhibition of my photos in Paris. I was
talking to some friends when suddenly a man came up to me
and said, “I know your two lovers. They live near here. I can
take you there if you want”. I immediately decided to go and
meet them. This was their story.
