It is in room no. 20 in the La Mirande hotel that Sophie Calle is making a new stop in Avignon, inviting the Festival's public to visit her, from July 15 to 19.

A hotel room inhabited by the artist but also by the objects that she has meticulously arranged in it: photos, books and pictures, a naturalized cat, a wedding gown... All of them are connected to key moments in her life, “true stories”. Presented as in a museum, they are accompanied by small descriptive cards written by the artist, which recount their story and justify their presence in this place.

Sophie Calle offers the visitor a unique experience of encounter. In taking possession of a place in which she multiplies the concrete details of a life, she continues to make use of confusion and mischievously questions the floating border between reality and fiction, between the natural and staging.
