Description
First published in 1994 and regularly reissued and expanded since then, “Des histoires vraies” is back this year for the eighth time, augmented by three new stories. Sophie Calle continues to tell us her stories, in precise and sober language, with the attention to the right word. Sometimes light and funny, sometimes serious, dramatic or cruel, these true stories, all accompanied by an image, deliver in a work in progress the fragments of a life.
About
Since the late 1970s, Sophie Calle has been the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world. Described in turn as a conceptual artist, photographer, videographer and even detective, she has developed an immediately recognizable practice, combining text and photography to nourish a narrative that is uniquely hers. She is now one of the greatest artists of the 21st century.
