In 2012 the Palais de Tokyo will inaugurate a new area wich is today unused : an additional 9 000 m2.
Before the renovation takes place, this additional part will be open to visitors for unusual installations. Sophie Calle project's is one of them :She has been called successively Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler.
My mother liked to be the object of discussion. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her.
When I set up my camera at the foot of the bed in which she was dying - fearing that she would pass away in my absence, though I wanted to be present and hear her last words - she exclaimed: "Finally." Sophie Calle
