Anna and Sigm : a fiction

A docu-fiction

There was some discussion over where this work belonged. Finally, we arrived at housing it in fiction, though much of it is not. First this was two very short films, one of Anna Freud’s signature one of Sigmund Freud’s signature, projected side by side as film loops, in a project conceived by Lucy Reynolds for Camden Arts Centre in 2013, entitled Anthology. Lucy Reynolds invited seventeen other women artists and writers, who work at the point of convergence between text and image, to participate, each including a short text to accompany the films. During the exhibition the event Anthology Live presented some explorations on the interplay of word and image in an evening of readings, screenings, music and performances, and this work was shown therein, albeit in a much reduced form (edited before the audience, rather bad-temperedly). It is part of a continuing series of books and other forms as Kivland follows Sigmund Freud, on holiday, at work, and on his arrival in London.
