Sophie Calle





Sophie Calle ( born 1953) is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist. Narration on the world- that’s her artistic strategy.
For Calle, life is a point of departure for creating multi- story fiction. To peep others or herself ,to describe, and to show it. A process of gathering, as well as time, play important role in her work. Calle explains the project “Hotel”- I spent one year to find a hotel, I spent three months going through the text and writing it, I spent three months going through the photographs and I spent one day deciding would be the size of the frame… it’s the last thought in the process.
