Freud Und Friends
by Gabriel Abrantes, 2015
Grease your skin like a Portuguese God. Ten times more oil than a regular pastry
and just as delicious. New edible, Belem Pastry Oil Body Wash. Wear a little
traditional Portuguese cuisine on your skin.
A freewheeling homage to both Woody Allen’s Sleeper and reality TV, Freud und Friends is a headlong dive (narrated by “Herner Werzog”) into the deepest, silliest recesses of the artist’s unconscious.
