Sophie Calle
â€˜,In February 1998, I was invited to create an exhibition entitled Appointment at a house at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, where Dr Freud lived and died. After having a vision of my wedding dress laid across Freudâ€™s couch, I immediately accepted. I chose to display relics of my own life amongst the interior of Sigmundâ€™s home.,â€™â€”Sophie Calle,A unique and beautifully produced assembly of Calleâ€™s own texts and personal objects juxtaposed with objects from Sigmund Freudâ€™s personal collection, still kept in his Hampstead house, ,Appointment, features fragments from the artistâ€™s own fascinating life story, characteristic texts that reveal intimate secrets and unravel some of Calleâ€™s childhood memories as well as her adult relationships.,Calleâ€™s references to certain mementos and the emotionally charged events with which they are associated have many parallels to Freudâ€™s own psychoanalytic theories and his passion for collecting.
