Grégoire Bouillier (born 22 June 1960 in Tizi Ouzou, Algeria) is a French memoirist who wrote Rapport sur moi (Report on Myself) and L'invité mystère (The Mystery Guest). Rapport sur moi won the Prix de Flore in 2002.[1]
Bouillier is the unnamed protagonist of French artist Sophie Calle’s work, Take Care of Yourself, in which Calle collected comments from 107 women to an e-mail he wrote her to end their affair. The work was exhibited in the French pavilion of the 2007 Venice Biennale.[2]
