The artwork titled “Bathyscaphe” by Jacek Yerka, created in 2001 in Poland, belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is categorized under the interior genre.
The artwork portrays a meticulously detailed interior of a small, compact room with a surreal twist. The room features wooden paneled walls and floor, with various everyday objects arranged in unconventional positions and perspectives, contributing to its surreal ambiance. The space includes a single bed positioned against the right wall, a wooden chair, a small cabinet with an old-fashioned radio on top, and a variety of other items such as a basin, utensils, books, and a somewhat whimsical item resembling a dragon.
