As a part of one of the vacations devoted to the Daniel Varenne collection, PIASA auction house proposes for sale a photograph of Sophie Calle realized in 2007.
Composed of artists such as Martial Raysse, Arman or Christian Boltanski, the entourage of Sophie Calle's parents is a real aesthetic amniotic fluid in which the young woman bathes until adolescence. Author of a work eminently protean, its questions, through many disciplines, the porosity of the border between the public sphere and the private sphere.
From 1981, she moved to a disused factory, occupied by Christian Boltanski and Annette Messager. Influenced by the couple, her work will revolve around the theme of disappearance. The playfulness and the importance of the staging of the artist are the source of many performances performed under the eye of a camera or a camera.
The one that represented France at the Venice Biennale in 2007 published many books by Actes Sud. His last "What do you do with your dead? " followed an exhibition at the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, in 2017.
