In this voyeuristic examination of intimacy and identity, French conceptual artist Sophie Calle is joined by her collaborator and partner, Gregory Shephard. Armed with camcorders while cruising west across the United States in Shephard』s Cadillac, they produced and documented a real-life narrative of their journey — and their relationship. In this unconventional coast-to-coast road movie, America is the backdrop for Calle and Shephard』s strikingly different versions of their experiences. The protagonists chronicle a landscape of human relations, wrestling to reconcile self, sexuality, and desire. The viewer is subtly lured into reviewing the subjective and cultural roles imposed by gender, sexuality, power, and tradition. Throughout this personal exploration Calle seeks to redefine the terms and parameters of subject/object, public/private, truth/fiction, and role-playing. The quasi-documentary style evokes the films of Chris Marker, to whom Double-Blind is dedicated. Double-Blind by Sophie Calle and Gregory Shephard 1992, 75:58 min, color, sound In her premiere video project, French conceptual artist Sophie Calle joins with Gregory Shephard to create a voyeuristic tour de force. Armed with camcorders, Calle and her collaborator/partner Shephard head West in his Cadillac convertible to produce and document a real-life narrative of their journey and their relationship. With America as the backdrop for this unconventional coast-to-coast road movie, Calle and Shephard each narrates and records a personal diary, presenting strikingly different versions of the narrative/relationship. Aiming their dueling camcorders, the protagonists chronicle the elusive landscapes of human relations, wrestling to reconcile self, sexuality, and desire. The viewer is challenged to reconsider the subjective and cultural roles imposed by gender, sexuality, power, and tradition. Throughout, Calle seeks to redefine through personal investigation the terms and parameters of subject/object, public/private, truth, fiction, and role-playing. The quasi-documentary style evokes the films of Chris Marker, to whom Double-Blind is dedicated. 索菲·卡萊(Sophie Calle)1953年生於法國巴黎，現仍在巴黎居住。 索菲·卡萊的早期作品採用了寄生的方法，試圖以此來溶解生活與藝術、隱私與公開、窺視與參與、暴露與隱秘、幻想與現實的關係。1979年，她用照相機和文字記錄了她邀請的45個人8個小時內在她的床上輪流睡覺的情景。索菲·卡萊的作品通常像一個調查或抽樣調查的結果。但它也可以看作是進行的試驗、紀錄片或是經過藝術加工的自傳。她稱自己為「紀實藝術家」，她經常暗中跟蹤陌生人，監視她們，詢問她們，讓她們無意識地加入到她的遊戲與故事中，如 1980年創作的「布朗克斯（Le Bronx）」、「威尼托的人（Suite venetienne）」、「自傳（Autobiographies）」。1981年創作的「旅館（Hotel）」、1983年創作的「證件（Le Carnet）」、1984年創作的「阿納托里（Anatoli）」、1986年創作的「盲人（Les Aveugles）」、1990年創作的「墳墓（Les Tombes）」和1991年創作的「色盲（Color Blind）」。為了產生一種富有詩意的朦朧的效果，她像偵探似的以女招待和脫衣舞女的身份出現。通過暴露自己和他人的生活，創造一種幻想與事實、臆造與現實、想象與觀察相互滲透的場面。在1996年創作的「清除（Die Entfernung-The Detachment）」中，她提供給我們一種重新收集回憶的過程，並將它視為藝術創作的形式。在原東柏林期間，卡萊曾經將許多社會主義的紀念性建築物拍攝下來，柏林牆推倒之後，這些紀念物也相繼被毀。此後，卡萊又重返故地，採訪了曾經與這些建築為鄰的居民，記錄下他們對往事的回憶與感想。在展覽上，卡萊將照片與採訪的錄音並置，主觀與客觀相互補充，產生了非常好的效果。 詳情
