'Something Missing?' offers a compact, yet nuanced overview of the French art star’s oeuvre, presenting classic and recent works.

Avant-garde composer Laurie Anderson and curator Yve-Alain Bois also contribute texts, that respond to Calle’s unsparing inquiries into interior life.French artist Sophie Calle works across photography, video, film, books, text and performance to conduct sociological and autobiographical investigations. She is, above all else, a storyteller. Over the course of five decades, she has built an expansive body of work that probes what it means to be human – thematically taking up intimacy, vulnerability, longing and loss. Calle fuses the registering sobriety that we associate with photography with deeply personal narratives – the artist’s or others – that are heartfelt, moving, messy, funny and ironic.
