This photograph, entitled
Dalí Atomicus, explores the idea of suspension, depicting three
cats flying, a bucket of thrown water, and
Salvador Dalí in mid air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work
Leda Atomica which can be seen in the right of the photograph behind the two cats. This is an early
unretouched version where the suspension wires are still visible.
