Sophie Calle 1953
"Sophie Calle is a French artist who works with photographs and performances, placing herself in situations almost as if she and the people she encounters were fictional. She also imposes elements of her own life onto public places creating a personal narrative where she is both author and character. She has been called a detective and a voyeur and her pieces involve serious investigations as well as natural curiousity."
Pulled this quote from this link below, purley because I could not describe her better.
For my video, which I am possibly taking stills from, I did exactly what she does, Created a fake narrative and characters, even the location was a lie, I claimed it was the east hills in wells, but it was in fact filmed at an iron age settlement in Warham, about 3-4 miles away from the east hills.
There is an immense amount of back work that goes into the planning and writing of the script and how the show might go in Sophie Calle's work, each piece carefully constructed to convey the appearance of her characters integrity and functionality. The degree of curiosity and the seriousness of her questions are nearly a comparable to the time spent in the preparation. Video work is very time consuming, and making sure the point of the piece is conveyed appropriately can be quite a challenge.
