Throughout her career, the photographer and installation artist Sophie Calle has been creating tableaux that recreate her personal journeys. Calle continues to examine the boundaries of public and private life in ways that surprise, engage, and inspire.

This magnificently illustrated volume covers ten years of her projects including The Phone Booth, Garigiliano Bridge, which involved a public phone that Calle called at random to initiate conversations with strangers; Take Care of Yourself, which documents the interpretations of more than 100 women of a breakup note Calle received from a former lover; The North Pole, a touching tribute to the artist's mother that imagines her realizing a lifelong dream; and the latest iteration of What do You See, which was created in response to one of the most brazen art heists of all time, at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Many ongoing series are also illustrated here, including Unfinished, Herein Lie Secrets, and Photos without Stories.
