Sophie Calle Makes the missing visible, without pretending that it can simply be retrieved. in Is it better? Memory, loss and history meet. Photographs, texts, installations and videos are used in different ways to describe an absence.

In “The Distance” from 1996, Calle combines photographs of former East German symbols with memories of passersby. What once stood in public space continues to live on in stories. These do not have to be complete or perfectly consistent in order to show something about the history of a place.

“Les fantômes d’Orsay” from 2022 brings together found objects, photographs and texts again. Calles previous stays in an abandoned hotel meet its later use as a museum in it. The exhibition consists of six works complexes in total. The exciting connection lies between the things and the stories that hang on them. Sometimes it is precisely what is missing that tells the most.
