Photographer, installation and conceptual french artist.Sophie Calle's work relates to traditonal concepts and focus ore on her ideas rather than a finished piece.
She portrays human vulnerability and extinguishes identity and intimacy within her work. Calle likes to allow others to furnish her work with they're opinion of it and create idea own idea of what shes trying to say.
Works such as 'Talking to stangers' were influenced after she returned to Paris and wanted to get reacquented with the city, so she follow or approached strangers and would ask for directions, request to be taken somewhere of their choice. doing this takes a certain level of trust I think, with the other person, the idea of social contact, Calle is rewarded by strangers kindness. I like how alot of her work relies on communication and help of others.
