This is the first major publication in English on the work of French artist Sophie Calle, yet this volume is in no way an ordinary monograph. In fact, it takes the form of a "double jeu", a "double game," between the work of Sophie Calle and the fiction of Paul Auster. Representing an imaginative interplay of fact and fiction, "Double Game" creates a publication of endless intrigue and part novel, part diary, part artist's book, and part jest.

Author
Sophie Calle
Author · 17 books
Sophie Calle is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist. Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints, and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives. Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing.
