Jan Svankmajer wrote this remarkable book on tactile art when he
stopped directing films after censorship by the Czechoslovakian
government and experimented intensively with tactile phenomena and
the creative imagination. Illustrated with over 100 images, the
book is organized around many reproductions of Svankmajer's
wondrous tactile art objects, tactile poems, experiments and games.
It also 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 tactual experience as Edgar Allen Poe,
Guillaume Apollinaire, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Meret
Oppenheim, Ay-O, and F.T. Marinetti.Michael Havas, producer of some
of Svankmajer's films, says of the book: 'it is typically
Svankmajer: erudite and very consequential. Sometimes also very
funny and erotic. Totally unique.'
