Through examples of major bodies of work as well as lesser-known pieces, the exhibition captures Calle’s astute probing into the human condition and reveals ways that her early work anticipated the rise of social media as a space to create and share oneself. The presentation features photography, video, installations and text-based works, highlighting the artist’s virtuosic use of different mediums to explore broadly recognizable and emotionally resonant themes. Organized into four thematic sections―“The Spy,” “The Protagonist,” “The End” and “The Beginning”―the book takes a new approach to some of Calle’s most acclaimed works including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Sleepers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1979) and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSuite Vénitienne\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1980), while also weaving in understudied works including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eCash Machine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1991–2003) and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eUnfinished\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (2005).
