Walk on the Wild Side is the second volume of the trilogy telling the story of Dorothy Circus, the most famous Pop Surrealism gallery based in Rome. Alexandra Mazzanti, owner and curator, stood out immediately for her artistic foresight and her unconditional love for the Low Brow & Pop surrealism movements. She deeply believes in her project and its potential, so much so that she has made of Dorothy Circus a landmark of its genre - in particular especially in the European market, where the gallery has become the first reference point for Pop Surrealism in Europe. Walk On the Wild Side is a yearbook of the gallery, where you can find all the events and artists who populated the area in 2012, with critical essays, biographies and lot of pictures. The volume includes exhibitions such as Secrets from the Hourglass by Leila Ataya, Cinephonica by Aaron Jasinski Last Drop of Innocence by Valentina Brostean, Fame: Iżm going to Live Forever by Scott Musgrove and Wild at Heart by Miss Van.
