Sophie Calle: Take Care of Yourself
Sophie Calle presents 107 outside interpretations of a “breakup” e-mail she received from her lover the day he ended their affair. Each interpreter was asked to analyze the document according to her profession — so that a writer comments on its style, a justice issues judgement, a lawyer defends Calle’s ex-lover, a paychoanalyst studies his psychology, a mediator tries to find a path towards reconciliation, etc. Calle asked a ariety of performers, including Nathalie Dessay, Laurie Anderson and Carla Bruni, to act the letter out. She filmed the singers and actresses and photographed the other contributors, so that each printed interpretation stands alongside at least one riveting image of its author, and some are also accompanied by digital documentation.
