The Royal Road to the Unconscious

In January 2003, eighty-three York College students eliminated all words from Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams and, as all words were cut out of his sentence, were pronounced. On June 1, 2003, artist Simon Morris threw the words out the window of a Renault Clio in Redbridge Road, Dorset. The action freed words from the structural unity of Freud's text, subjecting them to a random moment. Maurizio Cogliandro and Dallas Seitz documented the action when 333,960 words emerged from the car window. This 13-second short documents this.
