Note: This edition was produced as part of the After the Freud Museum project. The bottles contain water samples collected by the artist from two mythologically significant rivers, the Lethe and Mnemosyne. The work alludes to museums, collecting, memory, forgetfulness, retrieval and repression each linked closely to the Freudian Project and psychoanalysis
