Sophie Calle
Sophie Calle is a unique and purposefully contentious French artist. She is a writer, photographer, director, installation artist, and conceptual artist of wide renown. Professor Calle has taught at the European Graduate School (EGS) since 2005. There she conducts an intensive seminar on film and photography. She was born on the 9th of October 1953 in Paris. She is the daughter of the famous French oncologist Robert Calle. Significantly, it was partly as a result of inspiration gained from close artist friends of her father’s, most notably Martial Raysse, Arman, and Christian Boltanski, that she decided to become an artist herself. For over thirty years her work has been about linking her personal life, including some of the most intimate moments of it, to her work. She has done this by using almost all mediums one can thinking, including books, photos, videos, films, performances and more
