This powerful and sensitive French book is a novel of friendship illustrated with photographs from queer archives, especially lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk private archives. It questions the issue of belonging more broadly: how can we compose an alternative genealogy, save stories from oblivion in order to be part of a greater narrative that is no longer just intimate but collective? And the author continues, “I tell myself that if we are going to invent new family stories, we might as well share them.”
Hélène Giannecchini is a French historian of photography who teaches the history of photography and aesthetics.
