Based on an actual phone conversation, a suitably deep @l_cy_v_s read of Sophie Calle — centered on the artist's forthcoming @sigliopress book, 'The Hotel' — is up now @friezeofficial Ives concludes, "With Calle, it is less a question of representation of a real world via false media, than of a symmetry between our experience and her creations that can feel unaccountable and unnerving, for she offers something more nuanced than objective truth. Hers is a painstakingly strategic literature that poses ceaselessly as what has already been written, as that which belongs to the agency and fantasies of others, as what was discarded and only accidentally found, in which ‘I’ is a mystery to be filled in by strangers. Near the end of our conversation, I gathered my courage and attempted a meagre joke. ‘You’re a very lucky person,’ I told Calle, and she laughed. I was ludicrously proud of myself, as if I were the first writer to successfully describe her." Read the full feature via linkinbio. Stay tuned for more news about the book, which releases December 7, 2021. #sophiecalle #sophiecallethehotel #lucyives https://www.instagram.com/p/CV1DAjuJYJO/?utm_medium=tumblr
