Since the early 1970, Sophie Calle has created a number of exhibitions around the world. She has been described as a conceptual artist, photographer, video-artist and even detective and has developed her own distinct modus operandi, combining text and photography to tell of something deeply personal. She is considered one of the greatest artists of the 21st century.
"Many of the texts that appear in 'True Stories' are coolly evasive, and the overall impression is that of an exercise in self-mythology where the ""true"" self feels almost entirely absent, as if each recollection were a crime scene photograph in which Calle appeared only as a chalk outline.--Philippa Snow ""Bookforum"""
