Homage a Edith Piaf
De l'Autre Cote de Ma Vie
De l'Autre Cote de Ma Vie
We have for long now, seen Edith Piaf on Covers portrayed in a quiet typical way. Edith as the passionate singer, Edith as the grief-stricken person, whose sad face has long haunted her fans. This time, “De l’Autre Cote de Ma Vie” gives us a new view About Edith Piaf. It shows Edith submerged with the different aspects of her life that had a big impact on her, and that made her become the famous French icon she is today.
Those proposed album covers all have a twist that make them look like any typical album cover by Piaf, but that are not exactly typical. This twist is created by a play on the relation between the image and title. They complete each others to attempt to create the commentary that I am trying to suggest.Each “album” carries a new idea, a different statement.
Through your journey into “De L’Autre Cote de Ma Vie”, you will have an insight about the “backstage of her life”. From her childhood, marked by misery and poverty “UN RIRE QUI SE PERD SUR MA BOUCHE”, to the talent that was discovered in her early years “CET AIR N’EST PAS NE D’AUJOURDH’UI IL VIENT D’AUSSI LOINQUE JE VIENS”, to her ill-fated love affairs “T’ES L’HOMME QU’IL ME FAUT...”,to the serious chemical dependency she developed “C’EST VRAI TU ME FAIS UN DROLE D’EFFET” to her increasing alcohol problems “NOUS NE FORMONS QU’UN SEULCORPS”, to the numerous health problems that led to her death “ICI C’EST CONFORTABLE”, to the high confidence and strength that she kept througheverythin 0g that happened to her “IL PEUT M’ARRIVER N’IMPORTE QUOI”, “JE M’ENFOUS PAS MAL”, and finally to her becoming a French icon “DANS MA PEAU".The journey ends with an assertion of her daring personality, on that never relented, never gave up, and never regretted “NON, JE NE REGRETTE RIEN...”
