Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into Sophie Calle's immersive exploration of the abandoned Hôtel du Palais d'Orsay between 1978 and 1981, where she inhabited room 501 and documented its decay through photography. Over five years, she collected various artifacts that revealed stories of the past. Decades later, she revisits the site during lockdown, armed with a flashlight, to uncover its history and the remnants of its former life. This work reconstructs her archive, intertwining personal memories with the broader narrative of a forgotten space, evoking a sense of nostalgia and connection to history.
