In 1919, Sigmund Freud published an essay that focuses on the term heimlich, that designates what belongs to a home, and on its counterpart, unheimlich or “uncanny.” They turn into central notions of psychoanalysis. In 1938, then, the photographer Edmund Engelman enters Freud’s own home and office, to document these spaces shortly before Freud’s emigration to England. Engelman’s record shows a medical practice that is part private museum, part bourgeois living room. This room, with the couch at its center, is part of Freud’s home and it is not. It turns into the central locus of psychoanalysis and its practice. On the shelf to the right of the couch, among various pictures and antiquities, he placed two kiddush cups.
