Set in an enchanted forest, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
is the ideal subject for artist Marcel Dzama, whose work frequently
references dreams, fairy tales, and mythical worlds. Inspired by
Ovid's Metamorphoses, Shakespeare's celebrated romantic comedy
intertwines multiple narratives under the influence of
transformation and witchcraft. The play is often staged with actors
wearing animal masks, an aspect that appeals particularly to Dzama,
whose work is characterized by the fusion of human and animal,
fantasy and reality. As the second title in David Zwirner Books's
Seeing Shakespeare series, this book revisits this ultimate fairy
tale through the eyes of a contemporary artist who feels a special
affinity for its imagery.
