Through representations of art, film and architecture, The Surreal House explores the dwelling place as a source of mystery and succour for the imagination. Fusing the ordinary, the extraordinary and the imaginative, it delves into the space between the inside and outside of things and in doing so probes the significance of surrealism for architecture. Produced to coincide with a major exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery, it challenges of rhe role of imagery in art and architecture. A handsome, imposing and inspirational volume.
