Note publique d'information : Set in an enchanted forest, Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is the ideal
subject for artist Marcel Dzama, whose work frequently references dreams, fairy tales,
and mythical worlds. Inspired by Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Shakespeare's celebrated
romantic comedy intertwines multiple narratives under the influence of transformation
and witchcraft. The play is often staged with actors wearing animal masks, an aspect
that appeals particularly to Dzama, whose work is characterized by the fusion of human
and animal, fantasy and reality. As the second title in David Zwirner Books's Seeing
Shakespeare series, this book revisits this ultimate fairy tale through the eyes of
a contemporary artist who feels a special affinity for its imagery
