TITLE:
' Are you afraid of darkness? "
The video
" Are you afraid of darkness? " has been filmed in Freud's museum
in the study room, where collections of ancient Greek and Egyptian statues
occupy a large part of the room. It explores the concept of the "
self and the other " through the history of theunconscious. It questions
systems of knowledge, thought and analysis that still influence the representations
and the construction of the self. In the video, we see the public space
(museum) of logic and consciousness andits transformation with the entrance
of the dream. The realistic representation of the " constructed "
reality is destroyed, the false concept of harmony is ruined as the narration
of the dream starts. The space of the museum becomes part of the "
dream " as well. The absolute truth of Reason becomes unreadable
