Frida S.on the topic of psychosis and neurosis – or – my innermost is brilliant! by Bruna Hauert

Necklace  /  Narrative   Conceptual
 

Frieda S. is the realization of my research on the social role of women during the belle époque. From corsets to female hysteria and penis envy I naturally stumble across Sigmund Freud. The quotes on the necklace are from Frieda S. therapy sittings with Sigmund F. Although the patient Frieda S. comes at a price, it is a pittance compared to her inner value and the cost of a serious psychotherapy with a good analyst.
Overheard quotes from the therapy sittings with Sigmund F.:
-Sometimes my jewel case is also a cigar box…
-Well, at least my unconscious mind is much more moral than you think!
-I always say shitty woman instead of witty showman.
-Oh Doctor, I think the couch is on fire!
-Well, what do you mean by “hysterical”? I simply don’t have much else to laugh about.
-My innermost is brilliant!
-Did you say something?
