She photographed them awake and asleep, secretly recording any private conversation once the door closed. She served each a meal, and, if they agreed, subjected them to a questionnaire that probed their personal predilections, habits, and dreams. The following text is Calle\u2019s narrative report of her third guest\u2019s stay, and is the first in a series of four excerpts from the project to be published this week on the<\/em> Daily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I do not know him. A mutual friend gave me his contact information. I call him and tell him briefly about my project. He is hesitant. First, he wants to know if I have a bathtub. He wants to sleep ten hours, at night only. Finally, he agrees. He will come Monday, April 2, from one to ten in the morning.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Monday, April 2, Bob Garison arrives at the agreed-upon hour. After the two women who preceded him leave, he takes a seat in the dining room. He accepted the principle of the game but has difficulty submitting to the ritual. He wants to \u201cmake himself at home.\u201d He delays the moment of getting into the bed. He says he\u2019s in no rush.<\/p>\n<p>I do not want to call into question the proceedings of the experiment, its reasons, its rules, but how can I explain the importance of this bed being continuously occupied to a man who disregards the necessity of it. I let him do as he pleases.<\/p>\n<p>He decides to take a bath. He leaves his clothes on the floor. (During the night, I rummage through his pockets, for no reason, just to rummage. They are empty. Then I gather and carefully fold his clothes.)<\/p>\n<p>At two in the morning, he finally gets into the bed. I propose that he answer a few questions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Can he give me a brief description of himself?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay. Robert Garison, thirty-two years old, American, trumpeter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Is sleeping a source of pleasure for him?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of my primary activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does the door need to be open or closed?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does he talk in his sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>How does he think he sleeps?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does he use an alarm?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should be banned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does he have a difficult time waking up?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot difficult, but it does take me an hour or two to wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does my presence in the room risk disturbing his sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat depends on you, if you\u2019re noisy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does my gaze risk disturbing his sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gaze alone? No.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does he ever disguise himself for sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo! Why? Are there people who disguise themselves? As what?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Has he ever participated in an experiment of this kind?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Can he tell me a fond memory of sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Can he tell me a bad memory of sleep?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cProbably, a night when I was kept from sleeping, for example, on the overnight train to London. That train is always annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Does he dream?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I remember my dreams as soon as I wake up but forget them for eternity if I don\u2019t engage with them in some way after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Why did he agree to come?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuriosity. I like meeting people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>What does he think of the people who preceded him?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery nice. Am I supposed to think something? Yes, they were very nice, but I don\u2019t know why they were together. Do they normally sleep together, those two?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds, \u201cI appreciated the bath too. What bothered me was that I didn\u2019t want to be forced to arrive at a specific time, to sleep right away. I don\u2019t schedule my time like that. But it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>What would he like for breakfast?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have an espresso machine? No \u2026 okay, I\u2019ll take a coffee and a pain au chocolat. Does that work?\u201d He adds that he likes to flip through the <em>Herald Tribune<\/em> in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At 2:30 <small>A.M.<\/small>, I leave him. I did not dare ask him any more intimate questions. This is my first unknown sleeper. I lack the audacity.<\/p>\n<p>During the night, I photograph him several times. He moves very little. My presence does not seem to disturb him. At ten, I wake him up by taking a photo. I bring him his coffee. I forgot the pain au chocolat and disregarded the newspaper. He wants to get up immediately. He does not ask my permission. The young woman who should take over, Maggie X., does not show up, and he refuses to wait. While he is here, the bed remains unoccupied for a long time. Going forward, I\u2019ll be more firm.<\/p>\n<p>At 10:30 <small>A.M.<\/small>, I walk him to the door. I thank him for coming over to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I call Maggie\u2019s place and learn that she has just gone to bed. She must not be disturbed. I contact my mother who lives at the end of the street. She agrees to come over right away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>From <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigliopress.com\/titles\/the-sleepers-sophie-calle\/\">The Sleepers<\/a><em>, to be published Siglio Press in December. <\/em><em>Translated from the French by Emma Ramadan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Later installments of the series on the<\/em> Paris Review Daily: <em>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2024\/11\/19\/fourth-sleeper-rachel-sindler\/\">Fourth Sleeper<\/a>,\u201d<\/em> <em>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2024\/11\/20\/fifth-sleeper-gerard-maillet\/\">Fifth Sleeper<\/a>,\u201d\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2024\/11\/21\/sixth-and-seventh-sleepers-graziella-rampacci-and-francoise-jourdan-gassin\/\">Sixth and Seventh Sleepers<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sophie Calle <\/em><em>is an artist, writer, photographer, filmmaker, and performer whose work often makes use of Oulipian constraints.
