A stunning artist's book containing loose photographs hidden between pages of text that tell the story of each image

Words have always been central to the practice of French artist Sophie Calle (born 1953), who is known for her photographic work that often includes panels of text of her own writing. In this project, Calle conceives of the internal thought processes behind her art-making as stories to be told. It is with these stories--alongside the external stories of the moments preceding a click of a camera shutter--that Calle opens Because. The volume chronicles her reasons behind capturing particular moments in time, but the corresponding photos themselves are revealed only later, hidden in the interstices of the Japanese binding. In this process, Calle reverses the relationship of natural primacy between an image and the words that accompany it, instead calling our attention to the influence that the latter may have on our perception of a photograph.
