I Saw You In My Dream -The Freudian Way
Sophie Calle, “Double Game”
The cover of Double Game depicts Calle enacting Maria Turner’s b day: “To be like Maria Turner I spent the day of Tuesday, March 10, 1998, under the sign of B for Big-Time Blonde Bimbo.” The accompanying photograph depicts Calle dressed as a blonde 1960s pinup girl, perched on a bed, looking coyly into the camera, surrounded by a menagerie of animals, over the caption “B for Beauty and the Bestiary, for Bat, Bantam, Boar, Bull, for Bug, Badger, Bray, Bellow, Bleat, Bark, for Beastly Birdbrain, for BB.” The photograph, we learn, is meant to mock a 1989 photograph of Brigitte Bardot, who “in recent years has taken her preference for the cause of animals over that of humans to the point of caricature.”
