The following quote was lifted from ENCHANT AND DOOM's entry about SOPHIE CALLE'S piece on her dying mother:
On 15 February last year I received two simultaneous phone calls. One told me that I had been invited to exhibit at Venice. The other was from my mother: she had a month to live. I wanted to be there when she died, but everybody said: she will go when you leave the room, when you've wandered into the kitchen with a cup. So I set up a camera in her room and for 80 hours I stayed awake, changing the tape each hour, hoping to capture the moment of her death. It was impossible: I couldn't tell the moment. When I told my mother about Venice, she said: 'to think that I won't be there'. But she will be: my film shows the last 20 minutes of her life, it's called "Couldn’t Capture Death."
