Exhibition summary
EYES | OCHI is a photo installation presented in memory of Anna Freud, featuring a deeply layered kaleidoscope of children's gazes. The installation draws a parallel between the children's resilience and their struggle for a better future, and Anna Freud's work with children affected by war.
Curatorial context
The photo installation EYES | OCHI, located in the Showroom Berggasse 19, is presented "IN MEMORIAM ANNA FREUD" and serves as a poignant reflection on children's experiences with trauma and war. Created in a village near Lviv, Ukraine, in 2016, the installation uses children's gazes to highlight their struggle for a better future. "Prostir RaDity" (Room of Children's Joy), founded in 2015, provides a space for children to confront the ramifications of war, supported by psychotherapists, artists, and musicians.
The exhibition draws a strong connection to Anna Freud's groundbreaking work during World War II, particularly her efforts in establishing war nurseries in London and her research on children's coping strategies and the impact of war on their psyches. The museum dedicates this presentation to her memory and her influential publication "Young children in war-time: a year’s work in a residential war nursery." The installation prompts viewers to pause and reflect, guided by their own feelings, acknowledging the "windows to the soul" as central to understanding the children's perspectives and their fight for healing and hope.
