Photographs are not just shown but wounded, chemically treated, their surfaces blistered, oxidized, obliterated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eThis volume presents Sauvin’s interventions as a meditation on memory and disappearance in the Chinese urban imaginary. The cover alone tells you everything: a soldier or a guard in grey-blue uniform stands before a crimson gate in what could be a tourist snap from the early 1990s, only his face and torso have been seared into an acid rainbow void. The year “93” lingers at the edge of the frame. François Durif’s accompanying text moves in and around these visual ghosts, drawing a parallel poetic thread that doesn’t attempt to explain the images but rather echoes their dissonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003ePrinted in 2022 with a separate booklet insert, \u003cem data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003ePercevoir\u003c\/em\u003e is an object of sharp editorial intent and material presence — rough-edged, neatly brutal, situated between archive, accident, and authorship. It resonates in the Darwin collection alongside other practitioners of vernacular subversion and surface damage — think Araki’s scratched polaroids, or Erik Kessels’ \u003cem data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003eIn Almost Every Picture\u003c\/em\u003e. But Sauvin is less ironic, more elegiac. The images don’t look found.
