Le Striptease (from Les Autobiographies)
In *Le Striptease*, Sophie Calle presents a diptych that pairs photography with text, a signature format through which she explores the boundaries between public performance and private identity. The work belongs to her *Les Autobiographies* series, in which Calle turns the intimate details of her own life into carefully staged yet confessional narratives. Printed in an edition of ten, this piece exemplifies her practice of layering image and language to expose the vulnerability and artifice inherent in self-revelation.
