This year marks 100 years since Sigmund Freud wrote his paper on The Uncanny. A theory that went on to inspire art, film, literature and further psychoanalytic enquiry.
The uncanny is a feeling that is difficult to describe. It is related to dread, horror, repulsion, and distress. But what turns something frightening into something uncanny?
The Freud Museum’s exhibition celebrates Freud’s essay and explores its legacy. Elizabeth Dearnley, Karolina Urbaniak, Martin Bladh, Lili Spain and Martha Todd have made new artworks exploring the uncanny which may make you feel a little unsettled.
As well as finding out about historical and contemporary contexts, experience the immersive room inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story of The Sandman. Try out our downloadable app to hear an uncanny perspective on Freud’s collection of antiquities. Allow this exhibition to take you on a haunting journey through Freud’s former home.
