Xilitla is the name of a film presented by British-born, Mexico City-based artist Melanie Smith (born 1965) at the 54th Venice Biennial in 2011. The film--and this exceptionally handsome accompanying book--documents Las Pozas, the extraordinary Surrealist palace and gardens built by Edward James in Xilitla, Mexico, from 1945 until his death in 1984.
