Hervé Guibert French, 1955-1991

Overview

Hervé Guibert (1955-1991) was a French writer and photographer. A critic for Le Monde, he was the author of some thirty books, most notably To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life, which played a significant role in changing public attitudes in France toward AIDS. 

Hervé Guibert, who wrote in the wake of Jean Genet, Hermann Ungar and Thomas Bernhard, has also produced an important body of photographs, in the manner of a diary. 

Just as in his writings, he practices autofiction in his photographs, and his images are nourished by daily life and his intimacy.
