Trailer
A cinematic letter from multimedia Sophie Calle to director Victoria Clay Mendoza. The film showcases the essence of Calle’s work, in which personal experiences constitute her work’s primary source of material. That is the case with Take Care of Yourself, an exhibit engendered by a breakup letter written by her then boyfriend. Appropriating herself of photographs, videos, texts and installations, Calle blurs the boundaries between life and art. That is a trait deeply investigated in the documentary, which also focus on the subject’s archives and memories.
