L’usage de la photo, Annie Ernaux and Marc Marie

"It is a love story, between two writers who also photograph, it is a common book, two separate writings that come together. It is the story of their love (it is also the story of her cancer). They strip furiously to make love, throwing their clothes on the ground. And the next morning, they photograph these clothes, jeans, panties, shoes in a mess. Later, they write, each one a text. I think these are the most erotic photos I know: no bodies, only traces", says Marc Lenot.
