The ultimate guide to the renowned French artist Sophie Calle. Sophie Calle is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist. Her work is characterized by the use of arbitrary sets of constraints and often depicts human vulnerability, examining identity and intimacy. She is known for her ability to follow strangers and explore their private lives, which she has utilized in her iconic works such as Suite Venitienne, The Hotel, and Address Book. She has participated in major exhibitions worldwide, including the Venice Biennale in 2007, the Whitechapel Gallery in London, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, and has closely collaborated with writer Paul Auster. The Guardian has called her "the Marcel Duchamp of dirty laundry," and she was one of the artists on Blake Gopnik's list "The 10 Greatest Artists of Today," with Gopnik arguing that "the lack of art in Calle's work — her refusal to fit into any of the standard categories — is what deserves museum space."
