The poems are spoken in many voices and assume a variety of shapes while taking a curious irreverent approach to canonical artists and writers including Max Ernst Leonora Carrington Andre Breton and Piet Mondrian. This collaboratively-authored project explores the photograph and the people in it their relationships with each other their time and by reflection ours.</span></p>
