| Sophie Calle. Take Care of Yourself, 2007 source |
Sophie Calle (born 1953) is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist.[1] 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. source
I love Sophie's work. I was telling my husband that she does work that I would come up with but never execute on. I would think "this is a crazy idea. It's not "art" it's research or me being a little nutty. But nope, I have been proven wrong. Sophie rocks her ideas out with no remorse and in return, has a portfolio of gems. Her work provides freedom to artist to explore art and life. You don't have to do art a certain way. Do what feels right to you and follow through. Chances are, if you think it's a great idea, other will too.
