Scenes from Sophie Calle’s Suite Vénitienne:

For months I followed strangers on the street. For the pleasure of following them, not because they particularly interested me. I photographed them without their knowledge, took note of their movements, then finally lost sight of them and forgot them. At the end of January 1980, on the streets of Paris, I followed a man whom I lost sight of a few minutes later in the crowd. That very evening, quite by chance, he was introduced to me at an opening. During the course of our conversation, he told me he was planning an imminent trip to Venice. I decided to follow him.  (Calle and Baudrillard 1988, p.2.)

Sophie Calle: "The View of my Life," from True Stories

"My bedroom window gives on to a pasture. In the pasture there are bulls, and with the bulls, tick birds. On the left, the branches of a weeping willow. In the distance, a row of ash and tamarisk trees. There are egrets and the occasional stork. Nothing remarkable, and yet, this grassland glows. I couldn't begin to count the hours I've spent looking out at it, through the mosquito net. This meadow, framed by the window, is the image that my eyes have photographed more than any other. It is the view of my life."

Sophie Calle, from Exquisite Pain

88 days ago, the man I love left me. The scene wasplayed out on January 25, 1985, at two in the morning. I was in room 261 of the Imperial Hotel in New Delhi, he was in Paris. The split was done and dusted in three minutes, over the phone. An ordinary story. He had met another woman - a more docile one, I suppose. He would not be coming.

 I was twelve. It was in 1965. In May. At Arcachon. My mother and I were resting under a chestnut tree. It was midday. My father had left the house in the morning and we were waiting for him. Suddenly, he came out of the garage at the end of the garden, looking dazed and wild-eyed. He told us he had locked the door and tried to asphyxiate himself with exhaust. And he added, “Then I saw you, like the Virgin and Child, in a halo. And I decided not to kill myself.” There and then I jumped on my moped – I remember it was two-colored, orange and gray – and rode. Mad with pain that my dad was such a loser. Disgusted with the image that he gave of his suffering. I rode, straight ahead, for more than fifty kilometers. And then I came back.
