Sophie Calle

In 1999 Frost was asked to design a book showcasing the work of French artist Sophie Calle. The book was produced to coincide with an exhibition of Calle's work at the Camden Arts Centre in London. Taking the form of a personal diary, Double Game was written in response to 'Leviathan', a novel by Paul Auster which features episodes from Calle's own life. Calle's literary response turned the novel into a game, creating her own particular mixture of reality and fiction along the way. Reflecting this concept, Frost and Derek Samuel design a 'secret diary' with tipped-in pages, tied with blood red ribbon. The cover features an image of Calle photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, while the back of the book is printed with silver foil blocked type on cloth.
