Résumé :
For much of her life, American photographer Shellburne Thurber
has been engaged in an ongoing photographic investigation of
the relationship between constructed space and human energy.
Long intrigued by the idea of lived space as an extension of the
body and a site for projection, she has photographed a wide va-
riety of subjects, beginning with the homes of family and friends
who have passed, to generic back road motels, churches, aban-

and the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. She is especially
interested in spaces that are both public and private.
This volume comprises a selection of images Thurber made in
1999 and 2000 of psychoanalysts’ offices in Buenos Aires, Ar-
gentina, and the New England area of the United States.

spaces of psychoanalysts. Initiated in 1998 in Buenos Aires, the
project continued through a Bunting Fellowship (Radcliffe Insti-
tute for Advanced Study, Harvard University) in 1999–2000, en-
abling her to pursue the project in the Boston area. Unlike art
practices that seek to demonstrate theoretical premises,
Thurber’s work instead elaborates upon a long photographic his-
tory, fusing particular formal concerns with an interest in people:
their varying abilities to communicate, and the ways in which
the constructed environment (homes, motels, offices) can artic-
ulate, by containing, the complexities of the lives that pass
through them. The issues most clearly raised by her psychoana-
lytic interiors and the ideas they evoke — absence, emptiness,
