"I feel spied on, more exactly I feel hunted . I always feel like there are people with cameras somewhere. I have to keep my blinds and curtains closed all day to avoid photographers and paparazzi. I have no private life at all. I'm a hunted woman."
Brigitte Bardot.

Brigitte Bardot's story is the base of this series of paintings. Spending all my childhood and teenage years summer holidays in St-Tropez, France, I remember very vividly the famous (or infamous) story about Brigitte Bardot's beach house "La Madrague". To protect herself from the paparazzi and tourists taking boat trips to her private beach to snap pictures of her, BB built walls around her house and into the sea.
This controversial event stuck to my mind. I was wondering then (and still do today) if Celebrity is a great way of life or a burden? For the actress and singer Bardot it was a burden. BB took action in the late 60's, went to court, won and got the French laws changed for better respect of private life.
