«In order to grasp the fantasies which were stirring in me ‚underground,‘ I knew that I had to let myself plummet down into them, as it were. [...] I had to take the chance, had to try to gain power over them; for I realised that if I did not do so, I ran the risk of
their gaining power over me.»
C.G. Jung. Memories, Dreams, Reflections, p. 213–214
Against the backdrop of the tension-filled world events before and during World War I, Jung experienced an existential personal crisis. In his agony, he turned to his unconscious soul. He let fantasies and inner images arise and stepped into dialogue with the beings that revealed themselves. This led to sketches, paintings, and wooden sculptures – which he understood as symbolic images of the unconscious pushing into consciousness.
In the special exhibition "C.G. Jung – Journey into the Unconscious" the Museum C.G. Jung House presents C.G. Jungʼs creative works from the time of his first confrontation with the unconscious. By showcasing C.G. Jungʼs works, the exhibition aims to show a link between his self-experimentation and the key terms and concepts of Analytical Psychology that came out of that experimentation.
