Sophie Calle: The Sleepers

An artist's book of Sophie Calle’s seminal 1979 series of people sleeping in her bed: now in English translated by Emma Ramadan. The Sleepers, clothbound and pillow-like, unfolds as it opens, inviting the reader to join the others in Calle’s bed. A novella-like chronicle in image and text both magnifies the original 1979 installation and deepens an understanding of Calle’s ouevre.
