An introduction to Sophie Calle’s investigations of intimacy and identity

This Photofile volume situates Sophie Calle across photography, writing, installation, and conceptual art. The supplied overview identifies a practice built around self-imposed constraints and investigative methods, including following strangers and probing private lives. These works use observation and constructed rules to examine identity, intimacy, and human vulnerability, placing photography in conversation with questions of access, surveillance, and personal boundaries. As a monograph on an individual photographer, the book offers a compact entry point to Calle’s interdisciplinary approach and the ideas that recur across her work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in conceptual photography and artist monographs
