KALEIDOSCOPE - Dreamscapes from The House on the Rock

Sister book to KITSCH - The Fantastic World of The House on the Rock, KALEIDOSCOPE - Dreamscapes from The House on the Rock is a Fine Art book featuring dreamy photography from “The Greatest Roadside Attraction in the U.S.A.”.

The House on the Rock was built into a sandstone rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin by Alex Jordan Jr. near the UFO Capital of the World. What starts as a 13-room house turns into two miles of marvelous exhibitions inside extravagantly themed rooms. Unbelievable is an understatement with endless Victorian artifacts, antiques from ships across the seas, opulent, animatronic music machines, a steampunk organ room with the world’s largest chandelier, the grandest collection of dolls & doll houses in the world, circus ephemera, and The World’s Largest Carousel. The Carousel features 269 hand-crafted animals, none of them horses, and 20,000 lights illuminated among 182 chandeliers.

Everyone must experience The House on the Rock at least once. It was built near the 42nd parallel north, and is a place to find answers to life. The House was one of the first places I ever photographed, and is the birthplace of my career as a photographer. I put together my first book of images from this special place in 2009, and now again for my 42nd and 43rd books in 2023.

Through double exposure photography & creative editing techniques, these photographs help reveal the dream world within. Like looking through a kaleidoscope, this book is what my mind sees when I visit the magical place.
