Sophie Calle

French, born 1953 206 works online

In April 1979, Sophie Calle invited 29 people to occupy her bed. Over eight days, sleepers arrived in shifts—among them bakers recruited from local bakeries, a babysitter from an agency, a woman Calle had met at the market, the artist’s mother, and her younger brother (who brought a friend, a toothbrush, and a set of pajamas).
