'Utterly compelling' – The Sunday Telegraph

'There is one writer/photographer at work today who seems
to be properly exploiting the possibilities of integrating text and image. ... Sophie Calle is well worth seeking out if you enjoy pictures alongside your words.' – Alain de Botton,
The Independent on Sunday

'In February 1998, I was invited to create a show entitled Appointment in the house at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, where Dr. Freud lived, and died. After having a vision of my wedding dress laid across Freud's couch, I immediately accepted. I chose to display relics of my own life amongst
the interior of Sigmund's home.' – Sophie Calle

A unique and beautifully produced assembly of Calle's own texts and personal objects juxtaposed with objects from Sigmund Freud's personal collection, still kept in his Hampstead house, Appointment features fragments from the artist's own fascinating life story, characteristic texts that reveal intimate secrets and unravel some
of Calle's childhood memories as well as her adult relationships.

Calle's references to certain mementoes and the emotionally charged events with which they are associated have many
parallels to Freud's own psychoanalytic theories and his passion
for collecting.

Sophie Calle works with photography, performance and literature. Born in Paris in 1953, since the 1980s her work has been shown at galleries and museums throughout the world including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern and the Centre Pompidou, which hosted a major retrospective in 2005. In 2007, Calle represented France in a critically acclaimed show at the 52nd Venice Biennale.
