brief_description
French artist Sophie Calle received an email telling her that a relationship was over, ending with the words "Take care of yourself". The artist "asked 107 women (including two made from wood and one with feathers), chosen for their profession or skills, to interpret this letter. To analyse it, comment on it, dance it, sing it. Dissect it. Exhaust it. Understand it for me. Answer for me." -- page 9
