True Stories

First published in French in 1994, quickly acclaimed as a photobook classic, and now expanded and reissued in this first English-language edition from Actes Sud, True Stories gathers a series of short autobiographical texts and photos by Sophie Calle. Calle´s projects have frequently drawn on episodes from her own life, but this book -- part visual memoir, part meditation on the resonances of photographs and belongings -- is as close as she has come to producing an autobiography, albeit one highly poetical and fragmentary... This new edition includes five new photo-text presentations and is the first English translation.
