Les Tombes (Father, Mother, Brother)
Sophie Calle's *Les Tombes (Father, Mother, Brother)* presents three gelatin silver prints depicting the graves of the artist's closest family members, merging personal grief with documentary detachment. Calle's characteristically intimate yet cool photographic gaze transforms sites of loss into quiet monuments, inviting viewers to contemplate mortality, memory, and familial bonds. The series reflects her broader practice of blurring autobiography and conceptual art, making private sorrow a shared, contemplative experience.
