Lydie Salvayre and Kamel Daoud: “My Night in the Museum”. Identifying Oneself through the Mirror of Art

Summary/Abstract: Both Lydie Salvayre and Kamel Daoud, writers foreign by their social and geographical origins to the Parisian art sphere, relate a similar experience: a night spent alone in the museum amid works by Giacometti and Picasso. This confrontation, through unsimilar inner journeys, reveals their skewed, complex and changing identity as socially (split), intimate (traumatized) and artistic (marginal) being. Their identity is revealed through the encounter with the images of paintings and sculptures.
