Drawing on intimate relationships and chance encounters, Sophie Calle’s work has anticipated the personality-driven, voyeuristic nature of contemporary culture. Comprising photography, text, video, and installation work, Sophie Calle: Overshare marks the first North American survey to display the breadth and depth of Calle’s artistic career.
With the artist at its center, Sophie Calle: Overshare offers an extended rumination on the paradoxes of self-disclosure, raising complicated questions about surveillance and the ethics of intrusion. Calle taps into our own prying curiosities, asking us to question our own presentations of self, alongside that of others. She wonders if we’re uncomfortable yet—and why we keep on watching.
Walker Art Center offers free admittance on Thursdays from 5-9PM.
