Voyeur? Maybe.

Sophie Calle is a French artist who works with photographs and performances, placing herself in situations almost as if she and the people she encounters were fictional. She also imposes elements of her own life onto public places creating a personal narrative where she is both author and character. She has been called a detective and a voyeur and her pieces involve serious investigations as well as natural curiousity.

She crosses private boundaries to explore the meanings which might be hidden there and exploits public spaces, investing them with a sense of intimacy.

"Take care of yourself" (Prenez soin de vois)

We start with euphemisms like "observant" and then slowly move to "people-watcher" then to "eavesdropper" to "stalker" and then we arrive at "voyeur". It's amazing how negative the words can sound... connotations changing with word choice (essentially they are all the same).

"Are you seeking or is it happenstance?"

Does it really matter? We all watch each other in some regard. Some advert their eyes quickly as if they're shameful for watching and/or listening to you. Others look into the pupils of your eyes and don't particularly give a shit whether you know or not. I find both types pleasant.
