 read Gallery
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to bring an exhibition by Sophie Calle\, one o
 f the most celebrated and influential conceptual artists in the world\, to
  audiences in Northern Ireland for the first time. Beyond the Gaze – Sha
 red Perspectives presents video works (Voir la Mer\, 2011) and photographi
 c pieces (L’Hôtel\, 1981-1983).\n\nFor Voir la mer\, Sophie Calle invit
 ed inhabitants of Istanbul\, who often originated from central Turkey\, to
  see the sea for the first time. “I took 15 people of all ages\, from ki
 ds to one man in his 80s … once we were safely by the sea\, I instructed
  them to take away their hands and look at it. Then\, when they were ready
 -for some it was five minutes and for others 15-they had to turn to me and
  let me look at those eyes that had just seen the sea.”\n\nOne of her mo
 st famous works\, Calle took the photographs of strangers’ bedrooms that
  make up L’Hôtel over two years.\n\n“On Monday\, February 16\, 1981\,
  I was hired as a temporary chambermaid for three weeks in a Venetian hote
 l. I was assigned twelve bedrooms on the fourth floor. In the course of my
  cleaning duties\, I examined the personal belongings of the hotel guests 
 and observed through details lives which remained unknown to me. On Friday
 \, March 6\, the job came to an end.”*\n\nThe work presented in the exhi
 bition has been generously loaned from the Fondation Louis Vuitton\, Paris
 \, and supported by Galerie Perrotin.
