Sophie Calle - Absences 不在 – An Anthology Exploring “Absence” - 2024

■ Condition: New

Sophie Calle’s Absences is a conceptual art book exploring what remains when something—or someone—disappears.

Published in Japan by Seigensha, the book reflects Calle’s distinctive practice of combining photography, text, and narrative to examine absence, memory, loss, and perception.

Through photographs, texts, and fragments of narrative, Calle traces the presence of what is no longer there, transforming documentation into a poetic investigation of memory and disappearance.

Produced in connection with the exhibition at the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum in Tokyo, the book features an inventive foldout design that echoes the themes of absence, memory, and fragmentation. Its unusual physical structure becomes an integral part of the reading and viewing experience.
