Description

Sophie Calle's The Address Book is a unique and thought-provoking work that explores the boundaries between reality and fiction. In 1990, Calle found an address book on the streets of Paris and copied its pages before returning it to its owner, embarking on a journey to uncover the identity of the stranger whose life was recorded in the book. Through a series of written accounts and photographs, Calle delves into the world of her subject, revealing intimate details about his life and relationships. As she navigates the complexities of his acquaintances, the lines between truth and fiction become increasingly blurred. The result is a fragile yet captivating portrait that invites the reader to ponder the human desire for knowledge and its elusiveness. This book has been published in English for the first time, following an agreement with Calle's subject not to republish until after his death. With its physical weight and feel reminiscent of an actual address book, The Address Book is a striking and introspective work that offers a unique perspective on the human experience.
