The Surreal House by Jane Alison
Through a blend of art, film and architecture, this title presents the individual dwelling as a place of mystery and wonder. Fusing house and dream, it probes the relationship between interior and shell, object and space, as well as elaborates 'the marvellous' and 'compulsive beauty' as espoused by Andre Breton.
