Foreign Objects is a compilation of pen-and-ink drawings, executed in 1995 and 1996, from artist/writer David Reisman's dream journals. Surreal, funny, and at times unsettling, Reisman's drawings feature friends and family, acquaintances, a variety of character types, and celebrities including Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jackson Pollock, and David Letterman. While Foreign Objects is a kind of unconscious autobiography, the book may be seen as an effort, as his brother Carl Reisman notes in his foreword, to "help us to build bridges, however rickety, between our secret selves and consciousness, and between our isolated selves and humanity."
Reading Foreign Objects is like visiting a Museum of Everyday Life that's been broken down into its quantum state and reassembled as a surrealist masterpiece! David Reisman's dream art is autobiography at its most auto-luminescent.

When Goya etched "The Dream of Reason Produces Monsters" he wasn't reading David Reisman's Foreign Objects. In this diary of dream moments, Reisman illustrates many hilariously absurd situations that will leave you laughing. Still, this book does produce a trance-like state where the idea of someone half-submerged in floor boards seems as normal as, say, George W. Bush being president of the United States. Hmmm, Goya was right!
