For those of us who've lost a longtime pet,Busty Cops 2 (2006) Watch online the grief can be overwhelming, but might seem inconsequential to others.
It's something French conceptual artist Sophie Calle realised when she lost her beloved cat, Souris (or mouse, in English), back in 2014.
SEE ALSO: From unzipped office buildings to melting houses, this artist’s architectural illusions are mind-bendingSo Calle opted to pay tribute to her cat in a way that she only could: An all-star concept album full of songs dedicated to Souris.
On Souris Calle, the likes of Bono, Pharrell Williams, The National, Michael Stipe, Jarvis Cocker, and Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, to name a few, contributed songs about the cat, or wider themes of loss and grief.
About 10 artists on the album knew the cat personally, but Calle told the Wall Street Journalshe met these artists through chance encounters, or through friends of friends.
In the first track, Bono leaves a voicemail message which is actually a poem to Souris. Williams contributes a short instrumental in "A Cat Named Mouse," while The National's "Le violon blanc de Monsieur Souris" sounds like one of the band's songs, but about a cat.
Calle's album challenges people's view of grief for pets. Credit: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for ICP Calle challenges the idea that "we seem ridiculous" when we grieve for our pets in a way that's similar to grieving for humans.
"When you say you’re sad about the cat, it’s a bit obscene for people," she told ArtNet.
"You can’t say that. I mean, if I say my mother or my father is dead, everyone tells me ‘Oh, poor thing, she lost her mother, oh, poor thing, she lost her father,’ but if we say that about our cat, we seem ridiculous. It makes me laugh, when for me, in my daily life, it was almost more violent, because I lived with my cat. I didn’t live with my parents."
The 37-track, 95-minute album, which debuted at Calle's solo show last week, is available to stream.
