"Because" is a collection of works by French artist Sophie Calle (1953-). Intersecting photography and text, the artist has narratively depicted personal experiences and relationships with others, earning international acclaim for a series of works such as "Suite Vénitienne," "The Address Book," and "Douleur Exquise." Based on her 2018 series "Parce que," this book invites readers to first read a short phrase beginning with "because" and then engage with the photograph, exploring the misalignment and overlap between imagination and image evoked by the words. While the exhibition featured embroidered cloth covering the photographs, in this book the act of turning the pages itself becomes an experience. This Japanese edition, which adds six new works to the original French and English edition, is an experimental book that invites readers to explore the relationship between "seeing" and "narrative," a theme that Calle has consistently explored.
