Ursula’s Rabbit revisits a rare image taken in 1962 while Ursula Andress was filming Dr. No. This photograph originates from a unique original negative from an improvised session on set. No other known print exists, giving this work an exceptionally rare and intimate character. The actress appears in the famous attire linked to this foundational role, but her gaze and posture here reveal a more interior, almost silent presence.

 

The rabbit held in her hands introduces a visual ambiguity rich in interpretations.

 

At once soft and intriguing, it oscillates between playful innocence and a symbolic evocation of the media imagery associated with femininity at the time. This subtle tension reinforces the dialogue between vulnerability, sensuality and self-assertion, far from the reducing clichés of the glamour icon.

 

The chromatic intervention and the crystals extend this emotional dimension: they do not decorate the image, they reveal its sensitive texture, its breath, its presence. Everything in the scene seems suspended, as if the actress were standing on the border between the role and the woman, between public image and secret identity.

 

A quote from Ursula Andress is discreetly hidden within the work:

 

“I take care of my flowers and my rabbit. And enjoy food. And that’s living.”

 

It appears as a barely whispered confidence, reminding us that beyond the myth and the collective projection, there remains an intimate life, simple, free and profoundly human.

 

Ursula’s Rabbit does not only celebrate a cinema icon. The work reveals a fragile and luminous zone, where legend and reality meet in a single breath.
