Claude Simon on Photography and Literature in art press
The November 1992 issue of art press uses the Mois de la photo festival as a pretext to examine photography's evolving status. Initially seeking legitimacy as an autonomous artistic medium, photography later transgressed its own boundaries. The issue features an interview with writer Claude Simon, who discusses his parallel practices of novel writing and photography, exploring the liminal space between the two disciplines.
