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.
