Part of a large cycle comprised of different series of polyptychs with the subject matter of marble graves without any reference to dates, places or names, Sophie Calle encourages a reflection on those relationships that, in their presence or absence, define each person’s identity. Even though anonymous, each tomb in the series contains a real body that was once a person and remains alive as a memory and as a site allowing the opportunity to worship that memory by the survivors.

Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist and collagist associated with the Pictures Generation. She is recognized for her iconic collaged black-and-white photographs, overlaid with declarative captions. These phrases paired with such pronouns as “you,” “your, “I,” “we,” and “they,” address cultural constructions of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger utilizies mass communication and advertising techniques to explore these issues and is aligned with with such feminist post modern artists as Jenny Holzer and Sherrie Levine who implement similar techniques.
