Enemy Contact Surface
by Anthony Auerbach

Aerial survey, 228 photographs, 2002

Enemy Contact Surface is an aerial survey recording the surface of Uli Aigner's Enemy Contact, a site-specific work originally installed at the Freud Museum, London. Enemy Contact was a pavement of mirrors in the lobby of the house where Sigmund Freud spent the last year of his life after his flight from Austria. Visitors to the museum had no choice but to step on the glass and the mirrors became broken. The piece was later moved to the Austrian Cultural Forum, London (where it became the site of my work) and is now in Vienna.
