SOPHIE CALLE COULDN'T CAPTURE DEATH



Sophie Calle. In two stark rooms, viewers are presented with a wall text explaining that she learned that her mother had but a month left to live the same day she received a call inviting Calle to exhibit at the Biennale. In the next room is a video of her mother resting peacefully in her final hours with medical attendants hovering over her; her favorite music, Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major, plays in the background as the screen eventually fades into darkness.
