Sophie Calle on a Career of Provocative, Personal Art Ahead of UK Show

French artist Sophie Calle, known for work that has included following strangers, posing as a hotel maid to gain access to guests' rooms, and filming her mother's final moments, reflected on her career ahead of a major exhibition opening in the UK, according to The Guardian.

The report describes Calle's history of provocative and boundary-crossing projects, though the excerpt reviewed for this article does not specify further details of the new UK show, including its venue beyond a reference to Turner Contemporary, or a complete list of works on display.

Calle has built a decades-long career blending conceptual art, photography, and autobiography, often incorporating real interactions with strangers or intimate family moments into her projects, which have drawn both acclaim and controversy.

The Guardian's report frames the interview around whether Calle has any regrets about her methods; her direct response, along with further reflections from the interview, was not included in the excerpt reviewed for this article.
