Freud on Holiday
Volume III – The Forgetting of a Proper Name

The series Freud on Holiday deals with the artist’s particular relation to the work of Sigmund Freud (Freud Dreams of Rome, Vol.I, 2006, A Disturbance of Memory, Vol.II, 2007, The Forgetting of a Proper Name, Vol.III). This third volume describes a number of holiday possibilities, the problem of time and place, of cost and convenience, of appropriate companions and correct context. There are descriptions of train itineraries, of hotel rooms and restaurant menus, but a name resists recall for most of the book. There is a surprising connection with hysteria and another name is forgotten en route, accompanied by an embarrassing error in chronology. At last, forgotten names are remembered, although an image that has been talked away is not seen again.

Sharon Kivland is an artist and writer based in Brittany, France and London, England.
