Kumazzz Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Instagram imagineformargo_officiel Peter, très cher Peter, Te voilà parti toi aussi rejoindre nos anges, au plus haut dans le ciel. Nous sommes très tristes de ton départ, toi qui as tant apporté à la cause. Nous nous souvenons de ton enthousiasme contagieux lorsque nous t’avons demandé de faire des photos pour les enfants. Tu avais tout de suite accepté, toi le grand photographe de mode internationalement reconnu. Tu nous avais prêté ton immense talent, ouvert ton coeur, ta maison, tes amis de Camargue. Tout pour que les enfants se sentent bien. Avant chaque tournage, tu voulais des photos des enfants, pour les connaitre avant. Avec ta gentillesse légendaire, tu voulais pouvoir les appeler par leur prénom dès le premier moment, qu’ils sentent ton amour pour eux. Tout était magique, magnétique et simple avec toi. Tu nous laisses seuls mais avec ce cadeau incroyable de générosité que sont ces magnifiques photos que tu as prises pour l’association. Aujourd’hui nous pensons très fort à toi, à Petra ton épouse si présente dans notre aventure, à tous tes enfants -Joseph en particulier qui nous a suivi à chaque tournage-, et à toute ton équipe. La famille était le coeur de ta vie. PETER, merci FOREVER ❤. 📸 @therealpeterlindbergh Spoiler Peter, dear Peter, Here you are, too, to join our angels, to the highest in the sky. We are very sad about your departure, you who brought so much to the cause. We remember your infectious enthusiasm when we asked you to take photos for the kids. You immediately accepted, you the internationally renowned fashion photographer. You lent us your immense talent, open your heart, your house, your Camargue friends. Everything for the children to feel good. Before each shoot, you wanted pictures of the kids, to know them before. With your legendary kindness, you wanted to be able to call them by their first name from the first moment, that they feel your love for them. Everything was magical, magnetic and simple with you. You leave us alone but with this incredible gift of generosity that are these beautiful pictures that you took for the association. Today we think very strongly of you, Petra your wife who is so present in our adventure, to all your children -Joseph in particular who followed us on each shoot- and to your entire team. The family was the heart of your life. PETER, thank you FOREVER ❤. 📸 mikainstagram My thoughts go to Peter Lindbergh’s family this morning. I never met anyone else like him. His generosity of spirit, his talent his warmth. When shooting you, he made you feel remarkable. In front of his lens it was ok to be fragile, imperfect, sensual and strong all at the same time. An extraordinary man and talent @therealpeterlindbergh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumazzz Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 I think this INTERVIEW has never been posted to this thread before... PARENTS https://www.parents.fr/etre-parent/famille/parents-people/mika-son-engagement-aupres-des-enfants-atteints-de-cancer-13752#Mika-%3A-un-chanteur-au-grand-coeur le 24 sept. 2015 Mika : son engagement auprès des enfants atteints de cancer Mika est le parrain de la nouvelle campagne d’Imagine for Margo, association finançant la recherche pour les enfants malades du cancer. Le chanteur, qui nous a accordé un entretien, nous parle de son engagement… Mika : un chanteur au grand coeur A l’occasion du mois international de sensibilisation des cancers de l'enfant,Imagine for Margo lance sa nouvelle campagne, dont vous êtes le parrain. Qu’est-ce qui vous a donné envie de vous engager auprès des enfants malades ? En fait, c’est la deuxième fois que je participe à la campagne de l’association. Mais, j’ai mis deux ans et demi pour accepter que ma participation soit publique. J’ai la chance de ne pas être personnellement touché par cette maladie. Au départ, j’ai juste voulu rendre visite à ces enfants, le temps d’un week-end exceptionnel, sous l’œil du photographe Peter Lindbergh.C’est lui qui m’a proposé de le faire. Quand j’ai reçu l’invitation, je me suis dit : pourquoi est-ce que je dirais non. Je peux le faire, c’est 24 heures de ma vie. Accepter, c’était aussi une manière de respecter la vie. J’ai donc fait une surprise à ces enfants. Puis, fort de cette expérience, j’ai parlé avec Peter et on a décidé de collaborer à nouveau cette année, en faisant, cette fois-ci, quelque chose de plus médiatisé, maintenant que je connaissais la cause. Je voulais faire des photos qui allaient exister. C’était important de le faire de la bonne manière, d’une façon responsable, sans être trop voyeuriste. Lors de la première rencontre, appréhendiez-vous d’être emporté par l’émotion ? Non, je n’avais pas peur de ce contact. Je me suis dit : si ma visite rend heureux, ne serait-ce qu’un seul enfant parmi les 6-7, je n’aurai pas fait ça pour rien. Je ne savais pas ce qui m’attendait la première fois, ce que j’allais voir avec ces petits. Et j’ai été agréablement surpris par leur manière de communiquer, leur franchise, leur candeur, leur esprit si vif, mais aussi leur réflexion. Comme des enfants ayant grandi trop vite ? Je dirais qu’ils sont plutôt comme des adultes qui ont gardé leurs qualités d’enfant. Ils provoquent de la sincérité chez tous ceux qui les entourent. L’effet positif qu’ils ont sur les gens est impressionnant. Tout d’un coup, on laisse tomber notre carapace, nos défenses... Parmi toutes ces rencontres, y en a-t-il eu une qui vous a marqué plus que les autres ? Elles m’ont toutes marqué. Mais, je dois dire que Clément, le jeune homme de 11 ans avec lequel je suis sur la photo de campagne, a une manière de dire les choses qui me touche. Il veut vraiment communiquer, expliquer ce qu’il a dans la tête. Il construit ses phrases de manière presque journalistique. Il lit tellement, il a une grande culture. Il veut se battre et se bat aussi avec son intellect. Je serais vraiment fier d’avoir un enfant comme ça. D’ailleurs, dans la nouvelle campagne qui s’intitule « Les petits guerriers », les enfants parlent de leurs maux avec leurs mots. Et c’est bouleversant… La campagne est bouleversante dans sa franchise, dans sa transparence. Lindbergh est un photographe transparent. Il adore les défauts, il se bat contre les retouches même dans la mode. Il est très connu pour ça. A la télé, je suis maquillé, mais là, j’étais complètement naturel. Et c’était important. Ces rencontres avec ces enfants malades ont-elles changé votre façon de voir la vie ? On se rend compte qu’il ne faut pas avoir honte. Il faut démonter ce sentiment, nos défenses, nos armures. Ces enfants n’ont pas honte et c’est merveilleux. C’était aussi triste d’apprendre le décès de certains. C’est devenu réel pour moi. J’étais désormais confronté à cette maladie. J’ai pu voir comment les parents parviennent à transformer leur chagrin et leur frustration en quelque chose de positif et de constructif pour les personnes qui se trouvent dans la même situation que leur enfant. Cette transformation est vraiment quelque chose d’extraordinaire. Si vous aviez un message à faire passer aux parents et aux enfants malades, quel serait-il ? Je pense tout d’abord aux adolescents qui tombent malades au moment de leur vie où ils commencent à avoir des relations, des petits copains et copines. Une telle épreuve bouleverse leur vie. Je voudrais leur dire de trouver quelque chose à développer pour se battre. Se dire qu’on peut provoquer énormément de bien. Et puis, il ne faut pas avoir honte. Cela vaut aussi pour ceux qui ne sont pas malades. La honte et la peur provoquent la solitude, la renforcent. Il ne faut pas tomber dans ce piège, celui de la mélancolie. Justement, cela vous arrive-t-il parfois de tomber « dans ce piège » ? Oui, souvent. Alors je me fâche et je me demande comment j’ai pu tomber dans ce trou que telle ou telle personne a pu placer devant moi. Cela arrive à tout le monde. Mais, c’est encore plus dur lorsqu’on se sent faible. Il faut alors transformer ce mal-être en sentiment d’urgence, en énergie, en feu. On arrive ainsi à brûler énormément de choses négatives autour de nous, et ça c’est cool ! Google translator Spoiler Mika: his commitment to children with cancer Mika is the sponsor of the new campaign of Imagine for Margo, an association funding research for children with cancer. The singer, who granted us an interview, tells us about his commitment… Mika: a singer with a big heart On the occasion of the international childhood cancer awareness month, Imagine for Margo is launching its new campaign, of which you are the sponsor. What made you want to get involved with sick children? In fact, this is the second time that I have participated in the association's campaign. But, it took me two and a half years to accept that my participation be public. I am lucky not to be personally affected by this disease. At first, I just wanted to visit these children, for an exceptional weekend, under the eye of photographer Peter Lindbergh. He was the one who offered to do it. When I received the invitation, I said to myself: why would I say no. I can do it, it's 24 hours of my life. Acceptance was also a way of respecting life. So I surprised these kids. Then, based on this experience, I spoke with Peter and we decided to collaborate again this year, doing, this time, something more publicized, now that I knew the cause. I wanted to take photos that were going to exist. It was important to do it the right way, in a responsible way, without being too voyeuristic. During the first meeting, were you afraid of being carried away by emotion? No, I was not afraid of this contact. I said to myself: if my visit makes happy, even one child among the 6-7, I would not have done this for nothing. I didn't know what was waiting for me the first time, what I was going to see with these little ones. And I was pleasantly surprised by their way of communicating, their frankness, their candor, their lively spirit, but also their thinking. Like children who grew up too quickly? I would say that they are more like adults who have kept their childlike qualities. They provoke sincerity in everyone around them. The positive effect they have on people is impressive. All of a sudden, we drop our shell, our defenses... Among all these meetings, was there one that marked you more than the others? They all impressed me. But, I must say that Clément, the 11-year-old young man with whom I am in the campaign photo, has a way of saying things that touches me. He really wants to communicate, to explain what is on his mind. He constructs his sentences in an almost journalistic way. He reads so much, he has a great culture. He wants to fight and also fights with his intellect. I would be really proud to have a child like that. Moreover, in the new campaign called "The Little Warriors", the children talk about their ailments with their own words. And it's shocking... The campaign is overwhelming in its frankness, in its transparency. Lindbergh is a transparent photographer. He loves flaws, he fights against alterations even in fashion. He is well known for that. On TV, I wear makeup, but there, I was completely natural. And it was important. Did these meetings with these sick children change your way of seeing life? We realize that we should not be ashamed. We have to dismantle this feeling, our defenses, our armor. These children are not ashamed and that is wonderful. It was also sad to hear of the death of some. It became real to me. I was now confronted with this disease. I have seen how parents manage to turn their grief and frustration into something positive and constructive for people who are in the same situation as their child. This transformation is truly something extraordinary. If you had one message for sick parents and children, what would it be? I am thinking first of all of teenagers who fall ill at the time in their lives when they begin to have relationships, boyfriends and girlfriends. Such an ordeal turns their lives upside down. I would tell them to find something to develop to fight. Tell yourself that you can do a lot of good. And then, don't be ashamed. This also applies to those who are not sick. Shame and fear cause loneliness, reinforce it. We must not fall into this trap, that of melancholy. Precisely, do you sometimes fall “into this trap”? Yes, often. So I get angry and wonder how I could have fallen into this hole that such and such a person could place in front of me. It happens to everyone. But, it is even harder when you feel weak. It is then necessary to transform this malaise into a feeling of urgency, into energy, into fire. We manage to burn a lot of negative things around us, and that's cool!
