Sophie Calle is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist. Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints, and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives. Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing.
J'aime beaucoup ce petit livre comme un manuel des années 90 pour embellir la ville de New York ... Les textes sont traduit par Christine Le Bœuf. La simplicité et l'audace de Sophie Calle de cette époque sont rafraichissantes, certains éléments à prendre sans hésiter.
Honestly, might be my favorite book. I’m desperate to read more Sophie Calle, but specifically this one touches exactly where I need it to: my love for the city, people-watching, quests, keeping note of things. I love it!!
27 septembre, dernier jour de la mission, jour de mon anniversaire. C’est fou, non? le 27 septembre est le jour où je suis née.
Fakültede öğrenciyken atölye hocamın önerisiyle Sophie Calle ile tanışmama vesile olan kitaptır. O zamanlar kitabı okurken yaşadığım şoku anlatamam, bir sanatçı olarak Sophie Calle'ın zekasından, kışkırtıcılığından ve cürretinden büyülenmemek mümkün değil sanırım.
