Pictures made by the French photographer Marion Scemama on a 1991 road trip through the American desert with David Wojnarowicz, shortly before he died of AIDS. They were driving to San Francisco for the presentation of his book Close to the Knives, and along the way she made more than a hundred images of the two of them, and of the motels and abandoned villages of Death Valley that hold up the mythology of the American road. Texts by Elisabeth Lebovici, Cynthia Carr and Thibault Bouvain, and extracts from both their travel diaries, complete a book about an artist still too little known in France.
