Sophie Calle (born 1953 in Paris, France) is a trailblazing French artist and writer known for conceptually driven works that blend autobiography with photography and text. With her ingenious mix of fact and fiction, seriousness and playfulness, cool distance and unabashed intimacy, Sophie Calle stands as one of the most interesting and influential voices of contemporary art. For five decades, Sophie Calle has been a leading figure in the visual arts with her original work that tackles the big questions of existence and human emotions in general – love, loss, guilt, fear, embarrassment, etc. – in a rigorous, conceptual mode of expression. Sophie Calle’s works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale, where she represented France in 2007, and at major institutions such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern in London and The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. And her work is held in some of the world’s most prominent collections.
Sophie Calle was interviewed by Christian Lund in her home in Malakoff, Paris, in January 2026.
