Suite Vénitienne/Please follow me

Suite Venitienne/Please follow me is a collaborative project created by Sophie Calle and Jean Baudrillard which is primarily concerned with the concept of tracing. The text is comprised of the juxtaposition of two very different works: an annotated photographic investigation and a scholarly analysis of that investigation. Together, the two texts both articulate and perform a seduction that leads readers into an awareness of their own similar investigations and analyses of the texts at hand.
