Surréel

Surréel is a term derived from the French word "surréalisme," meaning "super-reality" or "above reality." It is primarily associated with the Surrealist movement in art and literature that emerged in the early 20th century. Surrealism sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example, by the irrational juxtaposition of images and the exploration of dreams and subconscious desires.

The movement was officially founded in 1924 with the publication of André Breton's Manifesto of Surrealism. Key figures in Surrealism included artists Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Joan Miró, as well as writers like Louis Aragon and Paul Éluard. Their work often featured bizarre, dreamlike scenes, unexpected combinations of objects, and a disregard for conventional logic and artistic norms.

Surréel elements can be found not only in visual art and literature but also in film, music, and even everyday language. The concept often describes something that is bizarre, illogical, or strangely dreamlike. It evokes a sense of wonder or unease, challenging the viewer's or reader's perception of reality. The influence of Surrealism can be seen in many subsequent art movements and continues to inspire contemporary artists and thinkers to explore the boundaries of the imagination.
