Conversations and Actions: Sophie CalleDanielRebeccaDanielRebeccaDanielRebeccaDanielRebeccaDanielRebeccaDanielRebeccaIt seems that Sophie is always looking for someone to tell her what to do. Buthow does she choose? There must be people suggesting things to her all the timenow she’s so well known.She won’t do just anything, it has to fit in with the ideas she wants to pursue.Do you think she invites suggestions so as to have more ideas to choose from?I went to an exhibition she had in 1999 and there was a suggestion box fromSophie requesting ideas for an activity she might undertake. I asked her to DJ atmy wedding.Did she?No!Some of her more recent work has involved enacting errors that journalists havemade about her.What do you mean?Well, for example if someone has mistakenly written that she works with deafpeople then she goes and works with deaf people.Oh, so instead of getting annoyed she looks for mistakes and turns them into agame.I hope we haven’t made any mistakes?I hope we have!12
