👉 Surrealism is an artistic and literary movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by its exploration of the subconscious mind and dream-like imagery. It seeks to transcend the limitations of rational thought and conventional reality, often employing techniques like automatism (spontaneous creation without conscious control) and juxtaposition of unrelated elements to evoke the irrational and fantastical. Surrealist artists and writers aimed to unlock hidden desires, fears, and creative potentials, challenging societal norms and exploring the depths of human consciousness through art and literature.
