Melancholia, an exhibition at the Freud Museum

Freud understood melancholia as a special type of mourning for a relationship that has been damaged or destroyed, when the mourner identifies with the formerly loved object instead of giving them up, and becomes highly self-critical in consequence. Six student artists from the Slade School of Fine Art and the University of the Arts London explore ways in which the concept of melancholia can be visualised. They present journeys through the melancholic state for both the artist and the viewer, reflecting how melancholia as a form of loss transforms into an affirming creative action.
