Sophie Calle: True Stories (New Edition)) - 66 Short Stories

The latest edition of Sophie Calle’s classic book True Stories contains three new short stories, in which the artist herself is both author, narrator and protagonist. The stories, accompanied by pictures, alternate between humor, seriousness, drama and cruelty, and provide fragments of Calle’s life – childhood, marriage and death – in a poetic and fragmentary form.

With her ingenious mix of fact and fiction, seriousness and playfulness, cool distance and unabashed intimacy, Sophie Calle stands as one of the most interesting and influential voices of contemporary art. She will often create suspenseful scenarios where, acting almost like a detective, she tries to get under the skin of both strangers and locations.
