A tantalising view of the Czech surrealist and filmmaker Jan Švankmajer’s private collection of artefacts and objects, full of beauty and magic. In Kunstkamera Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer opens the door to his Horní Staňkov Castle inviting us into his home where the living space is intricately and organically intertwined with an exhibition space filled with installations, paintings, puppets and products of nature, but also an unmade bed, his bedside table, an open bottle of beer and a dog bowl. Horní Staňkov is home to the eclectic private collection that Švankmajer has built throughout his life inspired by the kunstkameras of Rudolf II and André Breton. Now providing a tantalising view into his world through the sequence of objects and an interpretation of the collection, Švankmajer’s inner landscape is captured on film for posterity and shared with his fans from all over the world.
