A room in the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Seillans 1974.

A wide-angle view captures the spacious living and dining room in the second Seillans house of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in 1974. A light-colored sofa sits before large, arched windows, while a dark dining table is surrounded by white ladder-back chairs. The interior features a large panoramic landscape painting, abstract art, and a tall, totem-like sculpture entwined with a climbing plant. The fisheye perspective encompasses the entire breadth of the room, creating a distinctly curved view of the space.
