“Pure psychic automatism, by which an attempt is
made to express, either verbally, in writing or in any
other manner, the true functioning of thought. The
dictation of thought, in the absence of all control by
the reason, excluding any aesthetic or moral
preoccupation.“
– Andre Breton
 Dada began in Zurich, Switzerland in 1916, spreading to Berlin shortly
thereafter.
 The absurdity of Dada activities created a mirror of the absurdity in the world
around them. Dada was anti-aesthetic, anti-rational and anti-idealistic.
 Surrealist works were bound up with the psychoanalytical theories of
Sigmund Freud relating to the irrational and instinctual drives of the
unconscious.
 André Breton was a French writer and poet. He is known best as the founder of Surrealism.
 19 February 1896 – 28 September 1966
 Breton was a major member of the Dada group and the founder of Surrealism. He was
dedicated to avant-garde art-making and was known for his ability to unite disparate artists
through printed matter and curatorial pursuits.
 Breton drafted the Surrealist Manifesto in 1924, deeply affecting the methodology and
origins of Abstract Expressionism.
 His aim was to gather all the information possible related to forms that might express the
unconscious activity of the mind.
• Was born in Zolochiv, Ukraine (1986)
• Developed a desire to take photographs since he was 8 years old
• His aim is to look for reality in his own way, creating surreal moments
• His work mainly consists of illusion photography, e.g. A woman holding up
two fish in a way that her eyes are replaced with the fish’s
• Now he lives and works in Vienna, Aunstria
• Was born in France (1978)
• He was raised by a revolutionary militant family, lovers of the
Surrealism, Cinema, Jazz, Blues and Folk music
• When he got his first camera he started taking pictures “just for the fun of it”
• He is now a portrait photographer as he always works around the personality, the
inner world and the own fantasies of his models
• The ideas for his photographs come from a mix between improvisation, my feelings
of the moment, my sensations toward the models... and a personal
culture, mythology made of artistic, cinematographic, musical references, etc.
• Based in Los Angeles
• He discovered photography at the age of 13 under the guidance of his father (photo
instrumentation engineer)
• His ideas are conjured-up by my dreams and desires of what life could be
• He was recognized repeatedly throughout his 22 year career for his work's enduring (and
endearing) use of metaphor and hand crafted, trick-of-the-eye elements
• He is now an editorial and advertising photographer who creates imagery that applies to both
art and commerce
