Résumé:
«En 1988, une banque américaine m'a invitée à réaliser un projet insitu. Les distributeurs automatiques de l'établissement étaient munis de caméras vidéo qui filmaient, à leur insu, les clients en train d'effectuer des opérations. J'ai réussi à me procurer certains enregistrements.(...) En finir retrace l'histoire de cette recherche, analyse quinze années de tentatives ratées, dessine l'anatomie d'un échec.» -Sophie Calle

Résumé:
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso, the Parisian museum dedicated to the painter invited Sophie Calle to take over the Hôtel Salé. Confronted with the figure of one of the masters of modern art, she chose to completely empty the spaces of the museum – Picasso was expelled! – in order to install her furniture and personal objects there, on the upper floors, and to unfurl, on the ground floor, a fresco imagined as an echo of the famous Guernica but composed like an immense collage of the works she has been exchanging for years with other artists. To accompany this exhibition, ''À toi de faire, ma mignon,'' Sophie Calle has imagined a work in which she lists her ''rendezvous'' with Picasso. Testimonies from guards, paintings packed during confinement, etc. : so many stories presented in this art of storytelling so particular to Sophie Calle. Designed like an artist's book with its intimate format and its alternations of Bible and creative papers, Picalso immerses the reader in the funny, poetic and singular universe of the artist. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois, entitled Picassiette , recontextualizes these ''rendezvous'' in the work of Sophie Calle and revisits her favorite themes of memory, lack, disappearance or even absence.

Résumé:
«J'ai reçu un mail de rupture. Je n'ai pas su répondre. C'était comme s'il ne m'était pas destiné. Il se terminait par les mots : Prenez soin de vous. J'ai pris cette recommandation au pied de la lettre. J'ai demandé à cent sept femmes, dont une à plume et deux en bois, choisies pour leur métier, leur talent, d'interpréter la lettre sous un angle professionel. L'analyser, la commenter, la jouer, la danser, la chanter. La disséquer. L'épuiser. Comprendre pour moi. Parler à ma place. Une façon de prendre le temps de rompre. À mon rythme. Prendre soin de moi.» -Sophie Calle

Résumé:
Sophie Calle est une artiste française, installée à New-York et dont le travail inclassable se situe aux limites de la photographie, de l’art conceptuel et de l’expérimentation. Elle doit une partie de son succès au livre de Paul Auster, Léviathan, dans lequel Maria, un personnage de fiction, emprunte beaucoup à la vie de Sophie Calle. Ce dédoublement l’a amenée avec la complicité du romancier à inventer une façon de vivre qui mêle fiction et réalité. Ce coffret de 7 livres tient lieu de catalogue à l’exposition tenue à l’automne 1998 au Centre national de la photographie à Paris.

Résumé:
Never before published in its entirety in English, The Address Book is a key and controversial work in Sophie Calle’s oeuvre. Having found a lost address book on the street in Paris, Calle copied the pages before returning it anonymously to its owner. She then embarked on a search to come to know this stranger by contacting listed individuals — in essence, following him through the map of his acquaintances. Her written accounts of these encounters with friends, family and colleagues — juxtaposed with Calle’s photographs — originally appeared as serial in the newspaper Libération over the course of one month in 1983. As the entries accumulate, so do the vivid impressions of the address book’s owner, Pierre D., while also suggesting ever more complicated stories as information is gifted, parsed, and withheld by the people she encounters. A multitude of details, from the seemingly banal to the potentially revelatory, are not only collaged into a fragile and strangely intimate portrait of Pierre D.; they also accumulate into a collection of miniatures of the people around him as they reveal something, often unknowingly, of themselves. Further layering The Address Book is Calle’s first person narrative in which she interrogates herself—her fears, obsessions, and assumptions—over the course of her pursuit. When Pierre D. learned about the work and its appearance in the newspaper, he threatened to sue (and demanded that Libération publish nude photographs of Calle as a reciprocal invasion of privacy). Calle agreed not to republish the work until after his death. In the almost thirty years since its original publication in France, The Address Book has never been published in full again, only described in Double Game, Calle’s monograph which converses with Paul Auster’s novel Leviathan, and again in the novel itself as a work thought up (but not executed) by the fictional character Maria whom Auster based on Calle. Part conceptual art, part character study, part confession, part essay, this book is, above all, a prism through which desire and the elusory, persona and identity, the private and the public, knowledge and the unknown are refracted in luminous and provocative ways.

Résumé:
For Voir la mer, Sophie Calle invited inhabitants of Istanbul, who often originated from central Turkey, to see the sea for the first time. "I took 15 people of all ages, from kids to one man in his 80s once we were safely by the sea, I instructed them to take away their hands and look at it. Then, when they were ready--for some it was five minutes and for others 15--they had to turn to me and let me look at those eyes that had just seen the sea." The project was eventually composed of 14 five-minute videos, made for Calle by Caroline Champetier. Each person is filmed from behind, eventually turning to face the camera, revealing the emotions the experience has evoked.

Résumé:
After following strangers on the streets in Paris for months, photographing them and notating their movements, Sophie Calle ran into a man at an opening whom she had followed earlier that day. "During the course of our conversation, he told me he was planning an imminent trip to Venice. I decided to follow him," she writes at the beginning of Suite Vénitienne, her first artist's book and the crucible of her inimitable fusion of investigatory methods, fictional constructs, the plundering of real life and the composition of self. This Siglio reissue is a completely new iteration of Suite Vénitienne (first published in 1988 and long out of print), designed in collaboration with Calle to be the definitive English-language edition.
