This is the first major publication in English on the work of French artist Sophie Calle, yet this volume is in no way an ordinary monograph. In fact, it takes the form of a "double jeu", a "double game," between the work of Sophie Calle and the fiction of Paul Auster. Representing an imaginative interplay of fact and fiction, "Double Game" creates a publication of endless intrigue and layers: part novel, part diary, part artist's book, and part jest.
An incredible object, brimming with insightful documentation from artist Calle's project with Paul Auster, where she based a series of artworks on a character from one of his books, Leviathan, a character who he in turn had based on the real-life Sophie Calle. Some great performance and photography projects, laid out with Calle's class and charm. Beautifully designed with great documentation throughout, and some interesting artist's insights on the thought processes behind the works.
