Ghost Image is made from sixty-three brief essays—meditations, stories, fantasies, and tales bordering on prose poems—and now not a unmarried picture. Hervé Guibert’s short, literary rumination on images was once written in keeping with Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida, yet its deeply own contents cross a ways past that canonical textual content. a few essays speak of Guibert’s mom and dad and associates, a few describe previous relatives images and flicks, and spinning via all of them are reflections on remembrance, narcissism, seduction, deception, demise, and the phantom photographs which have been missed.

Both a memoir and an exploration of the inventive procedure, Ghost Image not just finds Guibert’s specific event as a homosexual artist captivated by means of the transience and physicality of his media and his existence, but in addition his suggestions at the extra technical points of his vocation. in a single essay, Guibert searches via a cardboard field of kin pix for clues—answers, or perhaps questions—about the lives of his mom and dad and extra far-off kin. Rifling via holiday snapshots and the autographed pictures of long-forgotten movie stars, Guibert muses, “I don’t even realize the faces, other than sometimes that of an aunt or great-aunt, or the skinny, reasonable face of my mom as a tender girl.” In different essays, he explains how he composes his pictures, and how—in writing—he seeks to flee and proper the inherent limits of his approach, to maintain these pictures misplaced to his technical failings as a photographer.

With traces of Jean Genet and ordinary subject matters that talk to the paintings of latest artists throughout quite a number media, Guibert’s Ghost Image is a superbly written, melancholic ode to life and artwork types either fleeting and powerful—a precise memoir on the nexus of relations, reminiscence, wish, and photography.
