In 2012 the Palais de Tokyo will open an as yet unused space: an additional 9 000 m2. Before the renovation takes place, this additional part will be open to visitors for unusual installations.
Sophie Calle is the first of many.
"My mother liked to be the object of discussion. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her. When I set up my camera at the foot of the bed where she was dying - fearing that she would pass away in my absence, though I wanted to be present and hear her last words - she exclaimed: "Finally."

For security reasons, the installation may only be visited by groups of up to 30 at a time, at the beginning of each hour from noon to midnight.
