Archivaria

Intro


As in color experiments where the perception of a single hue changes dramatically through its placement near other tones (known as the Bezold Effect), the works of Archivaria, brought into proximity with each other and the rooms of the Sigmund Freud Museum, alter each other’s reception: they influence, explain, and complete one another. At their core are the twinned rhythms of creation and destruction, that of memory and that of forgetting. Together they lead the visitor through a landscape of loss and redemption at once austere, inscrutable, and strangely inviting.
