Of Surrealism & Principal Life Problems

 

 

Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

i prefer dada as surrealism -- like some people's projects -- was far more associated with twee and irresponsible circle jerks. after all, dada gave birth to surrealism which lost its way.
