Las Pozas: Steps & Falls

Las Pozas: Steps and Falls is an interactive virtual tour of the fantastical surrealist garden created by the iconoclastic British aristocrat and poet Edward James (1907-1984). A visionary patron and friend of the European surrealist artists, James supported projects by Salvador Dáli and sat for portraits by René Magritte and Man Ray while also amassing a major collection of surrealist art. In the late 1940s James moved to Mexico where, over a twenty-year period, aided by his friend and collaborator Plutarco Gastélum, as well as a score of local craftsmen, he built architectural “follies” next to a cascading waterfall and several pools in a forty acre tropical rain forest site. This interactive DVD-ROM (for Mac or PC) by Robert Ziebell and Anthony Thompson Shumate contains over twenty 360º virtual tour Panoramas with links to video clips that allow the exploration of this mysterious and fascinating Garden of Eden. LAS POZAS is located in the Sierra Madre mountain village of Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
