The exhibition at the Freud Museum will consist of both indoor and outdoor displays. Outside the museum, the artist will install an inflatable 8-metre high black tower entitled Y-Chromosomal Adam.
Inside the entrance hall is a video, Nacht und Nebel (Night and Fog), shot during a foggy night this January in a forest near the artist’s studio.
The main exhibition space presents the sculptural installation We still need, which consists of a careful arrangement of plywood crates, open on one side to allow visitors to put their head inside. This is inspired in part by the enigmatic trapezohedron in Albrecht Dürer's famous engraving Melencolia 1 (1514). The last work in the exhibition is the sound of a lone man whistling the melody of the theme tune from the film The Great Escape (1963).
