The scarce catalogue for an exhibition of Leonora Carrington's work at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. The catalogue examines the themes of metamorphosis, madness and transformation that run through Carrington's surrealist artworks and writings.

The catalogue includes an interview between Leonora Carrington and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
