Synopsis

On the couch with Sigmund Freud—a photographic study of psychoanalytic offices in Buenos Aires and New England

For much of her life, American photographer Shellburne Thurber has been engaged in an ongoing photographic investigation of the relationship between constructed space and human energy. Long intrigued by the idea of lived space as an extension of the body and a site for projection, she has photographed a wide variety of subjects, beginning with the homes of family and friends who have passed, to generic back road motels, churches, abandoned and derelict homes and hospitals, as well as commissioned projects such as the renovation of the Boston Athenĉum and the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. She is especially interested in spaces that are both public and private.

This volume comprises a selection of images Thurber made in 1999 and 2000 of psychoanalysts’ offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the New England area of the United States.

From the Back Cover

Auf der Couch mit Sigmund Freud - eine fotografische Studie psychoanalytischer Praxen in Buenos Aires und New England
Die amerikanische Fotografin Shellburne Thurber hat sich lange Zeit intensiv mit fotografischen Untersuchungen der Beziehung zwischen gebautem Raum und menschlicher Energie beschäftigt. Geleitet von dem Gedanken, dass ein belebter Ort eine Erweiterung des Körpers und ein Projektionsraum sei, hat sie eine Vielzahl von Themen fotografiert: Wohnräume verstorbener Familienmitglieder und Freunde, klassische Nebenstraßen-Motels, Kirchen, verlassene Häuser und Hospitäler, aber auch Auftragsprojekte wie das Boston Athenĉum und den Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park. Ihr besonderes Interesse gilt Räumen, die gleichzeitig öffentlich und privat sind.
Das vorliegende Buch zeigt eine Auswahl von Fotografien psychoanalytischer Praxen aus den Jahren 1999 und 2000 in Buenos Aires, Argentinien, und New England, USA.
