Egg in the church or The Snake is an example of photographic collage. Typical of Breton, the title is both symbolic and enigmatic and its subject matter is cryptic and dream-like. It exemplifies the Surrealist interest in the female body as form, as well as an interest in themes concerning sexuality and religion. Breton and his colleagues aspired to reduce all sexual repressions to symbols and language that would serve freedom of expression.
