KITSCH - The Fantastic World of The House on the Rock is a Publication featuring photography from The King of All Roadside Attractions in the U.S.A.

The House on the Rock, built into a sandstone rock called Deer Shelter Rock, overlooks the lush valley of Spring Green, Wisconsin. This 13-room house, created by Alex Jordan Jr. with no formal training, features a Japanese-style interior with low-ceilings, wood paneling, stained-glass lights, and Asian art. Its main design feature is the 218-foot Infinity Room with 3,000 individual windows that extends over the rock. The house is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose home studio is only 6 miles down the street.

More than just a house, The House on the Rock features grand collections of americana and worldly treasures curated into extravagant exhibition rooms. These include a complete recreation of Main Street, U.S.A. of the Victorian era called the Streets of Yesterday, a 200-foot-tall whale fighting a giant squid longer than the Statue of Liberty in Heritage of the Sea, a Tribute to Nostalgia, mega animatronic music rooms (Music of Yesterday) that play iconic music numbers, an immersive Steampunk room called the Organ Room, the world’s largest collection of dolls & doll houses, a Circus Room filled with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey memorabilia, and The World’s Largest Carousel. It is a kind of kitschy Disneyland in the most fantastic way possible.

The House on the Rock is an amazing, eclectic, sprawling, spectacular, and vast experience with more than two miles of exhibits. It is almost impossible to describe. These colorful books attempt to capture the mysterious dream world contained within this impressive marvel of the Midwest.

KALEIDOSCOPE - Dreamscapes from The House on the Rock is a Fine Art Book Publication featuring 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.
