Sophie Calle : Rachel, Monique

I love her work and regret that I won't be able to catch this show.

French artist Sophie Calle's powerful installation,dealing with the death of her mother,in the brut concrete space under the Palais de Tokyo certainly packs a punch. Calle's mother, Monique Sindler, had always wanted to be the subject of her daughter's work, and when, upon learning her mother was on her deathbed the artist decided to set up her camera and film her, Sindler exclaimed "enfin" ("at last").
