Book Description: Thames & Hudson, New York, 2005. Printed embossed cloth; no dust jacket, as issued. Pages edged in metallic crimson; ribbon place-marker. Very good" "Narrow 8vo. 282 pp. Index. Color and b/w photos throughout. Calle writes: " I left for Japan on October 25, 1984, unsuspecting that this date would mark the beginning of a 92 day countdown to the end of a love affair. Nothing extraordinary - but to me, at the time, the unhappiest moment in my life, and one for which I blamed the trip itself. I got back to France on January 28, 1985. From that moment, whenever people asked me how it went, I chose to skip the Far East bit and tell them about my suffering instead. In return I started to ask both friends and chance encounters: 'When did you suffer most?' - I decided to continue such exchanges until I had got over my pain by comparing it with other people's, or had worn out my own story through sheer repetition." This book, filled with Calle’s photos, first counts down the "92 days to unhappiness", and is followed by 92 anonymous accounts, while her story, repeated on the facing pages, gradually fades. An intimate and often devastating mix of stories and photographs - a combination of images, travelogue, memories, and artist’s book. A beautiful, tight and clean copy. Bookseller Inventory # 64939
