Je ne suis pas là

by gg

Translated from the English par Madani

Je ne suis pas là is the Canadian author gg's first album after several short stories published between 2014 and 2017.

A young woman, a second-generation immigrant, cares as best she can for her elderly parents. Alone with her family responsibilities, she seems to find an outlet in amateur photography. During an urban drift, she happens to photograph someone who looks just like her. The story shifts, and the heroine is confronted with what her life could be…

Je ne suis pas là is a subtle reflection on the impermanence of things, memory and guilt. It's also an unsettling reading experience, as when gg instills paradoxical, surreal elements into certain seemingly innocuous scenes.

With subtle shades of gray, sophisticated compositions and an original storytelling which might remind the nouvelle vague cinema, gg succeeds in creating a troubled, melancholy atmosphere like no other.
