THE EXPERIENCE

Join art space and bookstore Nationale for a special screening of French artist Sophie Calle’s first video project, No Sex Last Night (Double-Blind). After the film, stay for a discussion of Sophie Calle’s work. 

ON SCREEN: No Sex Last Night (Double-Blind)

1996. Directed by Sophie Calle + Greg Shephard. Runtime: 1hr 16min. Not Rated.

In her premiere video project, French conceptual artist Sophie Calle joins with Gregory Shephard to create a voyeuristic tour de force. Armed with camcorders, Calle and her collaborator/partner Shephard head West in his Cadillac convertible to produce and document a real-life narrative of their journey and their relationship. With America as the backdrop for this unconventional coast-to-coast road movie, Calle and Shephard each narrates and records a personal diary, presenting strikingly different versions of the narrative/relationship.

Aiming their dueling camcorders, the protagonists chronicle the elusive landscapes of human relations, wrestling to reconcile self, sexuality, and desire. The viewer is challenged to reconsider the subjective and cultural roles imposed by gender, sexuality, power, and tradition. Throughout, Calle seeks to redefine through personal investigation the terms and parameters of subject/object, public/private, truth, fiction, and role-playing. The quasi-documentary style evokes the films of Chris Marker, to whom No Sex Last Night (Double-Blind) is dedicated, along with writer and photographer Hervé Guibert.
