Max Ernst, 1921


Title of the exposition of Max Ernst's first one man show in 1921.  A showing of drawings, collages and ephemeral works on paper. 

The idea to install the lettering within the door jam works particularly well - drawing the viewer into an interactive "reading" of the title and remains a curious touch to the Flashpoint exhibition, as to its source of inspiration and what lays behind it's meaning and  the door.
