Escape and Utopia Photographs and other images in the narratives of Sylvain Prudhomme

Sylvain Prudhomme’s work is full of photographs; the characters of photographers are also frequent, and his artistic collaborations indicate his attraction to this practice. What are the uses of photography? What is its place in the narrative, and how does it relate to the author’s literary practice? Par les routes (2019) will be the starting point for a comparison with the author’s other narratives, right up to his last work, Photomatons (2022).
