"Animation of a drawing of Paris bourgeois interior around 1900. The pieces of furniture reach out for each other like growing plants. The animation evolves like a fungus, in imitation of human thought. The drawing bears a quote from Sigmund Freud’s Civilisation and Its Discontents, 1908, from the chapter titled 'The Cultural Sexual Moral and Modern Nervosity’."
