Klappentext zu „This Dreaded Sight Twice Seen “
Over the last century, the subject of the uncanny has returned in the form of books, exhibitions,
cinema and
technology. These strange disturbances that weave in
an out of
different mediums blur distinctions between the past
and present;
reality and illusion; fact and fiction. Familiar
things return in
unfamiliar ways as objects are transformed into an
uncanny presence
that can never fully be understood or explained.
Focusing firstly on Freud s 1919 essay 'The Uncanny,'
the idea of the unhomely or unfamiliar whereby objects are returned
transformed
creating a feeling of anxiety and fear will be
analysed. Artists and
writers such as Ron Mueck, Tacita Dean, Hans Bellmer,
and Mary
Shelley will be considered as they each explore ideas
surrounding
the uncanny to examine and interpret those irrational
fears and experiences that cannot be understood
through logic
or science.
