Sophie Calle: True Stories

"He wanted to take my picture with his Polaroid. When the image appeared, there was visible a red line marking my neck. I took the photograph away from him and for the next few days, I remained rather mistrustful. Two weeks later, one night, a man tried to strangle me. He left me lying unconscious on the sidewalk. I recognized that same man, three days later, in a bar. He rushed over apologizing, insisting that it was all a mistake, and suggested that I become the godmother of the baby he was expecting imminently." – Sophie Calle, "The Neck," True Stories, fifth edition.
