Death is in our Hearts: Meditations on Death’s Attractional Force, an Illustrated Lecture

Tonight, join Carl Abrahamssonwriter, filmmaker, and publisher of the journal The Fenris Wolf, which “collects material from the colourful grey area between art and esotericism”for an illustrated lecture devoted to the links between art and death.

Mr. Abrahamsson will discuss his process, involving exploration of his photo archives and finding themes he hadn’t consciously pursued, especially emblems, symbols, remnants, cemeteries, and mementos related to death and dying. In 2010, he assembled some of these images for an exhibition called “Death is in our Hearts, ” on view at Martin Bryder Gallery in Lund, Sweden. The process provided many insights not only into his own psyche but also into the meaning of death in general. The final and absolute power of death made itself known through his own artistic endeavors, and he found himself forever grateful.

This event is part of a series exploring the intersection, integration and application of psychoanalytic theory, the arts, and the occult, curated by psychoanalyst, Dr. Vanessa Sinclair. Throughout the series, Sinclair will host a variety of psychoanalysts, psychologists, artists, writers, and occultists from a range of backgrounds and theoretical orientations. Presenters discuss their work, personal experience and areas of research interest, opening up a dialogue between practitioners in fields of study that rarely have a chance to engage with one another yet often operate in similar and complementary ways.
