More about "C'est Marilou qui avait une tête de chou !"

Ivy crowns her gaze,
Autumn swirls through silent leaves,
She stands, unshaken.

In this inverted tribute to Serge Gainsbourg’s "L’homme à la tête de chou", it is Marilou who now carries the title’s metaphor. Rather than the man being consumed by his obsession for her, Marilou herself is crowned with leaves, her head literally becoming a "chou" (cabbage). This playful yet striking visual shift reclaims the image of entanglement, not as madness or passion, but as a state of being—rooted, natural, unapologetic.

Artistic Statement: The fluid lines inspired by Art Nouveau and the bold contrasts of autumn amplify the duality between growth and decadence, obsession and detachment. The composition remains surreal and carries a deliberate irony: Marilou now literally has a « tête de chou » instead of the male narrator of Gainsbourg's songs in the album.
