The Divorce from the series True Stories (The Autobiographies)
In this work from her *True Stories* series, Sophie Calle pairs a gelatin-silver photograph with a concise autobiographical text, weaving together image and language to examine a deeply personal narrative. Her characteristically deadpan approach transforms an intimate account of divorce into a detached, almost documentary confession, inviting viewers to question the boundaries between private experience and public display. The aluminum-mounted, diptych format reinforces the fractured duality at the heart of the work, mirroring the rupture of separation itself.
