Absences

Appearing with the ‘Commemorative Reopening Exhibition: Absences – Toulouse-Lautrec & Sophie Calle’, held at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo, this unusually bound volume of foldout pages serves as the catalogue for the section on French photographer and installation artist Sophie Calle. Calle’s works frequently combine text, photographs, and videos. Many deal with the painful experience of heartbreak, inevitably leading to a void of loss and absence. The exhibition and this book especially focus on works and series produced by the artist since 2010.
