Freud’s Ghost is a durational performance in which the artist lays on a chaise longue with grey wool blankets covering his entire body. Audience members are invited to occupy the chair at the head of the couch in the position traditionally taken up by the analyst. Throughout the performance the artist remains still and silent.
Freud’s Ghost was performed as part of my solo exhibition ‘Ad/dressing the Wound’, 2023 at Ellipsis Gallery, Woolloomooloo. You can read more about Freud’s Ghost in the catalogue essay by Dr Cinzia Cremona which is now available online.
