In between Life and Death : Sophie Calle’s Rachel, Monique (2014)

• This chapter is dedicated to Sophie Calle’s aesthetically rich and existentially moving art exhibition Rachel, Monique (2014), representing her mother’s death in 2006. Calle’s well-known dichotomies between private and public, random acts and aesthetic form are repeated in a new dichotomy between life and death, and the nuances in between these. The authors suggest a combination of some of the fundamental notions of intermedial studies combined with the aesthetic theory of Mikhail Bakhtin in order to grasp the exhibition and the experience of it.
