Call Me: A Self-Portrait invites the visitor to touch her payphone torso, activating Blondie’s song of the same name, reincarnated as a siren’s call; another bar staple, the tabletop jukebox, serves as her head. Lakich interjects herself into this tableau, discarding the artist-as-observer role by including her actual phone number and eyes onto the torso.
