The volume pairs each photographer with a historical Surrealist artist, creating dialogues between their works: Viviane Sassen and Man Ray, Paul Kooiker and Hans Bellmer, Amie Dicke and Meret Oppenheim, Juul Kraijer and Max Ernst, Geert Goiris and Giorgio de Chirico. Through these couplings, Surrealism emerges as a transgressive mode of visual thinking, untethered to a specific period in time, that pursues a re-enchantment of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnst van Alphen\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1958) is a Dutch cultural analyst and a professor emeritus of literary studies at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society.
