Collecting the bones of everything I ate <strong>for</strong> seven years<br />
led me to follow two paths: one was to create a dining<br />
table, and the other was to begin reading Sigmund<br />
Freud’s writings. Freud too was a collector and carried<br />
out his practice and research surrounded by this<br />
personal collection of antiquities. As an architectural<br />
designer I am fascinated by how we construct and define<br />
our dwelling places by the things we keep around us.<br />
These constructed spaces simultaneously reveal and<br />
conceal subtle and profound aspects of our very being.<br />
This is evident in Hilda Doolittle’s reflection on Freud<br />
during her analysis in 1934 where she states, “He said<br />
his little statues and images helped stabilize the<br />
evanescent idea, or keep it from escaping altogether.”<br />
Freud at the Dining Table will explore where obsession<br />
coincides with envisioning place.<br />
freud<br />

dining<br />
table<br />
Natalija Subotincic is an Associate Professor of<br />
Architecture at the University of Manitoba. She is currently<br />
collaborating with the founders of the Museum of Jurassic<br />
Technology on the design of an extension to the museum’s<br />
facilities in Los Angeles, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia. Her most recent creative<br />
research includes: Interpretation of Rooms, an ongoing<br />
spatial analysis of the relationships between Sigmund<br />
Freud’s theories, his collection, and the rooms he and his<br />
patients occupied; and Incarnate Tendencies – An<br />
Architecture of Culinary Refuse, a social and architectural<br />
re-evaluation of the ‘threshold’ between food preparation<br />
and food consumption as manifest in a dining table,<br />
published in Eating Architecture, MIT Press, 2004.<br />
