Sophie Calle

The Sleepers, 1979

Calle's first Fully realized installation, consists of one hundred and seventy-three photographs and twenty three people(friend, neighbors, strangers) allowed her to observe them as they slept.
She photographed and interviewed these people-each of whom was allotted.
One eight hour sleeping period in her own ben-over the course of an entire week. Such behaviour, which might have seemed intimate or slightly titillating of photographed in a single episode, becomes, when it is repeated twenty three times, of little more interest than a clinical record.

The hotel, 1986

A year later she returned to Venice where she got a temporary job as a chambermaid,
she made s peice of work about her imagined idea of
who the hotel guests were based on their perssonal belongings.
