Yoneda Tomoko created
the photographs in her series, Between
Visible and Invisible, through the lenses of actual glasses worn by
influential 20th-century figures. She simulated experiences from their lives
using actual objects at their estates or in their archives. In Freud’s glasses—Viewing a Text by Jung,
Yoneda photographed a re-enactment of Sigmund Freud’s first reading of Carl
Jung’s 1912 Wandlungen und Symbole der
Libido (Psychology of the Unconscious). This text would cause a theoretical
rift between Freud and Jung that resulted in a falling-out between the two
famous scholar-friends.

“Between
Visible and Invisible refers to the correlation between the image on the
surface (the visible) and images below the surface (the invisible) such as our
ideas of these men and the historical facts. These two elements come together
to make a new image,” says Yoneda.
