Christoph Pingel - [bio] Sophie Calle [e]   05.10.2001; 18:56:59 (reads: 58831, responses: 0) Sophie Calle *1953, Paris, F; lives and works in Paris and New York For over twenty years, Sophie Calle has been fascinated with blurring the boundaries of public and private in everyday life. Using photography and text as her medium and strangers as her subjects, Calle approaches her work much like a detective. She rises issues on intimacy and identity, playing with the experience of watching and being watched, often pushing the limits of what is generally respected as private.
