Ghost Image

"Guibert is perhaps France's best known author of AIDS narratives. This brief, literary rumination of photography was written in response to Barthes's Camera Lucida. Guibert combines explorations of the artistic process with memoir, revealing his particular experience and vision of the world as he tries to express what he would have caught in photographs he attempted to take but missed through technical mistakes."--Publisher info
