About this film

In 1938, Salvador Dalí and Edward James created a number of telephones featuring lobsters. 'How?' and 'why?' are the main questions that our group ask when they visit the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.

This is one of a series of films made in collaboration with young people across the UK, who explore and express their views on sculpture in public collections.
