‍Enigma of the Hour: 100 Years of Psychoanalytic Thought was held at London’s Freud Museum to mark the centenary of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis in 2019. The exhibition presented archival materials alongside contributions by artists including Linder, Daniel Silver and Paloma Varga Weisz, as well as by the co-curators Simon Moretti and Goshka Macuga.

This publication brings together the exhibited works alongside new texts by Michael Newman, Marina Warner and Adele Tutter, and a conversation between Jennifer Higgie, Simon Moretti and Daniel Silver.

The orange dust-jacket design references Marion Milner’s The Hands of the Living God, while the cover itself features a small percentage of the most evocative essay titles published over the Journal’s 100-year history. Within, text is laid out densely; greyscale reference images are inset into the copy itself, and the main image sections incorporate installation shots, archival materials, and a visual essay that creates dialogues between the various works.
