Ce somptueux roman en forme de requiem pour une photographe défunte est aussi l’occasion d’évoquer le nationalisme corse, la violence des guerres modernes et les liens ambigus qu’entretiennent l’image, la photographie, le réel et la mort.

^^p177 the exhaustion of witnessing, the turning away

P178 “Il y a tant de façons de se montrer obscène†what‘s best left undeveloped

P189 “il n‘y avait au fond que deux catégories de photos professionelles, celles qui n'aurait pas dû exister et celles qui méritaient de disparaîtreâ€

Suet624 That statement rang so true for me. 8mo

Ferrari‘s intense, hypermasculine, nostalgic themes, now focused on photography (war photography) in its brutality, intimacy, witnessing. Art of capture & composition. Photography & death, freezing time. Capturing violence: propaganda & proof. Antonia asserts independence, but is identified with photographs she took & men in her life. Evocative descriptions of photos=an art in itself. Grief. Melancholic & moving in long, exhausting sentences. 2018

IuliaC I enjoyed this one very much 8mo

A beautiful and painful requiem to Antonia, a young photographer who dies in a car accident. Several episodes of her life are depicted through the impact she made on the men who loved her. Her story is set during the nationalist movement in Corsica and the war in ex-Yugoslavia, and alternates with those of other war photographers whose vivid art and expert eye conveyed the atrocities of the wars that shattered humanity throughout the 20th century.
