'..Surrealist appropriation of lived space aimed to inhabit not the private sphere as such but the dialectic between personal and collective, and the complex to and fro between the closed/occulted and the public/exhibited politics, space and actions that formed the hub of French surrealism's problems of inter-war years...
..A significant purpose of Breton's home was thus to shelter a physical and intellectual connection of objects whose prime function was to locate the self with the wider world outside. The status of these collections as poetic rather than archival or taxonometric encounters were further enhanced by the inevitable shifts and rearrangements of their display, open to the dynamics of change and accident...'
( Thomas Mical, 'Surrealism and Architecture', 2005)
