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

A wide-angle, fisheye lens captures the interior of a room in the second house of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1974. The distorted perspective centers on a large landscape painting hanging above a wooden console table. The eclectic space is furnished with wicker and wood chairs, a mid-century modern sculpture, and a large geometric rug covering the herringbone wood floor. In one corner, a tall Monstera plant is illuminated by a large, curtained window.
