#xE2;#xAC;#xDC; In February 1998, I was invited to create an exhibition entitled Appointment at a house at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, where Dr Freud lived and died. After having a vision of my wedding dress laid across Freud#xE2;#xAC;"s couch, I immediately accepted. I chose to display relics of my own life amongst the interior of Sigmund#xE2;#xAC;"s home.#xE2;#xAC;"#xE2;#xAC;#x1D;Sophie Calle A unique and beautifully produced assembly of Calle#xE2;#xAC;"s own texts and personal objects juxtaposed with objects from Sigmund Freud#xE2;#xAC;"s personal collection, still kept in his Hampstead house, Appointment features fragments from the artist#xE2;#xAC;"s own fascinating life story, characteristic texts that reveal intimate secrets and unravel some of Calle#xE2;#xAC;"s childhood memories as well as her adult relationships. Calle#xE2;#xAC;"s references to certain mementos and the emotionally charged events with which they are associated have many parallels to Freud#xE2;#xAC;"s own psychoanalytic theories and his passion for collecting.
