Sophie Calle: True Stories

Dive into the extraordinary world of Sophie Calle with the latest edition of her acclaimed book, True Stories — now featuring three new tales. First published in 1994 and continuously expanded over the years, this beautifully crafted volume is as close as Calle has come to writing an autobiography, though delivered in her signature poetic, fragmentary style.

Through a series of short, vivid stories—never longer than a page—and accompanied by evocative photographs, Calle invites readers into intimate moments of her life. From childhood memories to experiences of marriage, sex, and death, she shares each fragment with wit, candor, and striking emotional depth. Her carefully chosen words and imagery create a tapestry that is by turns humorous, somber, dramatic, and provocative.

Both the narrator and protagonist, Calle blurs the lines between personal history and art, offering readers a form of visual memoir that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. A celebrated figure in contemporary art, Sophie Calle’s groundbreaking work has been exhibited in world-renowned institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston).

Sophie Calle: True Stories is a captivating exploration of memory, vulnerability, and the art of storytelling — a must-read for lovers of photography, conceptual art, and bold, boundary-pushing creativity.
