Written in response to the Group for Independent Formation's conference Psychoanalysis and Politics: The Impossible Relation, this essay traces how an encounter with Le 388 (a psychoanalytic clinic for psychosis in Québec) became the catalyst for an ongoing artistic and clinical inquiry. Moving between a Brooklyn conference and visits with my brother, who lives with schizophrenia, the piece explores subjectivity, disappearance, and the politics of listening through both psychoanalytic reflection and visual practice.
