Sophie Calle: The Address Book


Having found a lost address book on the street in Paris, artist Sophie Calle copied the pages before returning it anonymously to its owner. She then began contacting the people — in essence, following him through the map of his family, friends, lovers, and acquaintences. Her written accounts of these encounters — juxtaposed with her photographs — originally appeared as serial in the French newspaper Libération over the course of one month in 1983.
