Sabotaging Reality. Surrealism in European Photographic Art, 1922–1947

Photographic art rather than painting is the domain where the sabotage of reality was most comprehensive and creative. André Breton saw real automatic writing in photographic art: photographs can be technically processed (e.g. by "burning" and deforming). In the case of photographs, it is possible to play with possible failures (e.g. photograms); they can be inverted and manipulated, or they can simply be photographed. As a result, photographic art became the favourite tool of surrealists, who pursued "the ever purer subconscious, which at the same time is more and more captivated by the cognitive world."
