Sharon Kivland
An Agent of the Estate
information as material, 2008
Sharon Kivland has haunted the Freud
Museums in London and Vienna, more at home on the unhomely stairs, as though in
lingering improperly and listening at doors, an alien guest, she might find
more than a petrified spectre of psychoanalysis. She invites the reader to
follow her tour of properties, with some detours through stations and board
games. Adept in ventriloquism and other uncanny tricks, she offers a buyer’s
guide to some of the dwelling-places of psychoanalysis, while reminding the
reader that the ego is not master in its own house.
