After the Freud Museum, 2000
This book was a result of an initial installation in the Freud Museum, London, 1994 called "The Reading Room." Hiller states that "it locates something else which is entirely distinct conceptually." The artist created complex boxes with found objects and texts "orchestrating relationships, and inventing fluid taxonomies, while not excluding [herself] from them...Sequences, patterns, repetitions and gaps structure this book." This is a second edition of this book which coincides with the exhibition of the work at the Tate Modern. The Sackner Archive also contains the 1995 first edition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
