Surrealism - a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images.
Non-photographic Examples:
 |
| Salvador Dali |
 |
| Rene Magritte |
Photographic Examples:
 |
| Pat Hopkins |
 |
| Tommy Ingberg |
These images have surreal qualities because they illustrate false perceptions of reality that one may see in a dream. They also incorporate objects and ideas that one wouldn't normally associate as being even remotely related to each other, yet these photographers combine them to create a space where these seemingly opposite objects or ideas can coexist.
