Illustrated with over 100 imges; this book is organised around many reproductions of Svanmajkers wondrous tactile art objects; tactile poems; experiments and games. It includes dialogues with; and artworks by; other collaborating artists from the Group of Czech and Slovak Surrealists. Svankmajer also gathers together as contributors such notable exponents of tactical experience as Edgar Allan Poe; Guillaume Appollinaire; Salvador Dali; Marcel Duchamp; Meret Oppenheim; Edith Clifford Williams; Ay-O; Valie Export; F.T. Marinetti and Karel Teige.
