A spine-tingling uncertainty, a peculiar kind of frightening. Here I explore the uncanny creeping into life, art and literature, based on Freud’s ‘The Uncanny’.
Freud gives substance to and shows the difficulty of classifying this phenomenon: where something can be familiar yet strange at the same time. The essay is the guide to navigate the world of the uncanny. It is the start on an endless, road-less map.
This is not out and out horror but the seed of fear. A sliding of reality.
