This beautifully designed volume accompanies the survey exhibition of the same name at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, October 2024–January 2025, the first in North America to explore the range and depth of Sophie Calle’s practice across the past five decades. Through examples of major bodies of work as well as lesser-known pieces, the exhibition captures Calle’s astute probing into the human condition and reveals ways that her early work anticipated the rise of social media as a space to create and share oneself. The presentation features photography, video, installations and text-based works, highlighting the artist’s virtuosic use of different mediums to explore broadly recognisable and emotionally resonant themes.

Meet Sophie Calle: Internationally renowned, Calle's often controversial works fuses conceptual art and self-imposed constraints, investigatory methods and the plundering of autobiography. The Whitechapel Gallery in London organized a retrospective in 2009, she represented France at the 2007 Venice Biennale, and her work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Hayward Gallery and Serpentine, London; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, among others. She lives and works in Paris.
