The exhibition presents the wide reach of the surreal imagination in modern and contemporary photography. Anchored in historical Surrealism, it explores photography’s central tension between documentation and invention, a generative force for artists connected to that movement.

Drawn from the Menil’s holdings and Houston collections, the exhibition demonstrates how this vision of photography continues to hold sway and how artists have used the camera to reshape, question, and disturb the way we see the world.

The exhibition features works by French or France-based artists Laure Albin-Guillot, Brassaï, Eugène Atget, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Georges Hugnet, and Claude Cahun.
