An important motif of twentieth century fantastic literature is the exploration of a house or a room whose furniture and spatial organization are disconcerting. Such a motif is presumably symptomatic of a deep questioning on space structure understood according to Euclides and Newton ; it also echoes the anthropological crisis of the very notion of "place", a crisis mirrored in literature, visual arts and cinema, which can be deciphered in particular descriptive passages signaling the aporetic turn of narrative in fictions by J.-L. Borgès and André Pieyre de Mandiargues.
