Sophie Calle

Sophie Calle's works can be seen as a series of rituals, where she blurs the boundaries between the intimate and the public, reality and fiction, and art and life while leaving room for chance. In her works, Calle depicts both human vulnerability and folly, often with herself at the center. 

Calle is alternately described as a writer, a conceptual artist, a photographer, a movie director, or even a detective. She might be a little of each, according to the characters that she interprets, the rituals she imagines, the parts of her life that she tells, and the feelings that she shares. She often explores the investigation methods, and her praxis, usually, consists of the association between photography and text. 

Sophie Calle has exhibited at most major art museums in the world since the late 1970s, including Louisiana, Musée d'Orsay, Paris, and in 2007 she represented France at the Venice Biennale. In '24 she exhibits at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, USA, and the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo, Japan. Last year Sophie Calle took over the entire Musée Picasso in Paris with a large exhibition on all museum floors.
