Publisher: Siglio

In 'Suite Vénitienne', Sophie Calle's first artist's book, she records, in timestamped diary entries, her surveillance of Henri B. In Venice. She attentively observes her own emotions as she searches for him, finds him and follows him. Intentionally losing herself while wandering through the labyrinthine streets of Venice, the city becomes the repository of her desires. She must remind herself that even though she feels as though she is in love, she is not; that his elusiveness may be more appealing than actually knowing him; and that there is a vast gap between her own thoughts and his, which she cannot know.

This Siglio reissue is an entirely new version of 'Suite Vénitienne', conceived in collaboration with Calle, intended to be the definitive English-language edition. Printed on Japanese paper with a die-cut hardcover and gilded edges, this beautiful new Siglio edition invites readers to devour this fascinating and crucial work.
