Abstract
The article discusses two works by the Danish visual artist Jens Haaning, DANMARK (2004-) and Recent Danish History (2008), primarily in the light of the German psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich's way of analysing a general social state of mind via the individual's personal state of mind. However, even though both works are shown to do exactly that, the article pinpoints differences as well: DANMARK is described as integrative, Recent Danish History as dispersive; DANMARK as archival, Recent Danish History as anti-archival.
