Featured in the foyer of Southern Exposure, The Reading Room: The Final Results Of Psychoanalytical Treatment , by M.M.Lum, featuring her book of the same name. Lum’s compilation of psychoanalytic essays and collaged texts, each chapter featuring a different technique of superimposition, calls attention to the way we interact with what we read. Lum compares the way the text changes to “dialing around the radio, with abrupt shifts from one subject to the next. This fragmentation refers to how, when we read, we are always thinking of other things, no matter how subliminal or transparent.”
