Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 1990, I found myself sitting on the platformof Wien Sudbahnhof waiting for a train to Bucharest anddreaming of waltzing down the River Danube. In the dream,my partner and I spiralled through rooms that had hostedthe secessionist salons of Mitteleuropa. We landed on thecouch of Freud’s 20th century, before spilling onto thestreets and the opening scenes of The Third Man.
