Ernaux's aim with Exteriors was to describe reality as a photographer would, seeking to uncover the mystery of the lives she encountered in her surroundings.
In The Use of Photography, Ernaux returns to her personal style, reflecting on deeply intimate themes of desire, illness, and memory, in dialogue with her former lover.
The series of 14 snapshots represents not just their relationship but the essence of desire itself, captured in the beauty and sorrow of discarded clothing.
Ernaux’s unique lens allows readers to experience the emotional weight of simple objects, turning the mundane into profound reminders of love and loss.
