Description: | photogram. Cornelia Parker's "Feather from Freud's Pillow" is a beautiful image in itself and points to wider concepts of time and place. It was taken from the psychoanalyst's famous couch at his London home. The feather is almost a relic, providing us with an entry point not only into the life of Freud, but also into the lives of his patients; if a feather could talk… Cornelia Parker is interested in the symbolic associations carried by objects. "Sometimes I find the tiniest bit of information the most evocative," she commented in an interview for her exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 1998. | Rights holder: | © Cornelia Parker | Subjects: | conceptual art psychoanalysis feather | Temporal: | 1998 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Cornelia Parker | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
