«L'usage de la photo» is the photographic essay by Annie Ernaux and Marc Marie, published by Gallimard in 2005 in paperback (150 pages, in French).
Fourteen photographs of the room after a love encounter show the scene without bodies: the clothes and objects suggest eroticism. In a shared diary, Annie Ernaux, undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and Marc Marie comment on these images and reflect on memory, desire, and photography as a trace of the real.
The diary was written between March 2003 and January 2004, and the work belongs to Gallimard's Blanche collection.
For readers of the work of Annie Ernaux, Nobel Prize in Literature 2022, and for those who value intimate non-fiction and photography as memory.
Annie Thérèse Blanche Ernaux is a French writer who was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements, and collective restraints of personal memory". Her literary work, mostly autobiographical, maintains close links with sociology.
