france sometimes like to look its past a bit too much. i guess it can become an issue for some people, it’s a bit more of a situation when it comes to a country. anyway, out of those people turned on the past, cult french writer patrick modiano is somehow different. he’s books really smell this french nostalgia that is not so sexy and that maybe only french can get. at least author marie lebey gets it, and she gets it so much that she decided to go to all the places that patrick modiano talks about in his book. on top of going there, she decided to shoot them and publishing house leo scheer take on to make it into a book. i’m kind of relieved and intrighued at the same time because going to places from a book or so this is the kind of thing i would do, it’s a bit of a old school stalking, isn’t it? going back to the book, i don’t know why she decided to call it “oublier modiano” (forget modiano) but the author is said to be really furious, i guess it’s not in its plan to be forget…

in the book, she copied few lines from the book related to the place she photographed. i think the all thing is really moving.  by pp.
