Flecked with simulated water and mold stains, Calle's newest artist's book resurrects her storm-damaged artworks that hover between preservation and decay

While Sophie Calle (born 1953) was preparing for her exhibition at the Musée Picasso in Paris, a storm hit her home and caused severe mold and water damage to many artworks, including photographs from her series Les Aveugles (The Blind). Calle was inspired by an idea by artist Roland Topor, in which he buried an old sweater that he could neither give away nor throw away. Thus, her subsequent exhibition and its corresponding artist's book contend with art that fades with the passage of time.
