This talk follows the journey, geographic, intellectual, and imaginative, Malcolm Tulip made to "discover" a script for a theatrical performance. Inspired by the writings and drawings of German Surrealist Unica Zürn (1916-70) he explores the connections of the present and the concrete, with the past, the imagination and the unconscious to create a surrealist co-biography. In New York galleries and on the streets of Paris Tulip sought context for the works of Unica Zürn and connections between Zürn's life and his own.
