It is an unprecedented photographic production that the British magazine Love will publish on June 19, when its October issue is launched at London Fashion Week. Madonna and son Rocco are the great protagonists of the images, captured by Mert Alas. Unprecedented because the pop queen appears without make-up or big hairstyles. And unprecedented because it is the first of Rocco and symbolizes the union between mother and child after he chose to live with her father, director Guy Ritchie, in London.

And it is the responsibility of an artist . be revolutionary in their work is our responsibility, our duty and our privilege, “says Madonna to Love, who announced yesterday conversation excerpts with the singer, who speaks without modesty, how it operates – or not – in a world currently revolves around it around the social networks. “I was already famous before its appearance, so fame is not a burden. Fame is the manifestation and a by-product of my work, and it came two decades before the social networks … Now to me, the burden is that people are more focused on fame than doing their job or being artists. Nowadays it is very easy to be famous, what is not easy is to grow as an artist without being distracted or be consumed by this fame ” he said.
Still, no exemption Instagram. Because it is a “daily” and through it can “share different aspects” of its “personality.” “And I can draw attention to people or problems that I consider important. It allows me to be curator of my life.”
About include Rocco this photo shoot, Mert Alas explained that the idea is to show that “there kids seem punks skinheads “, but hiding a lot more than that. “They have substance, sensitivity, creativity and an inimitable personal style. They are porreiros kids who create music, poetry and art,” he said.
