The Seven Deadly
Techniques of
Surrealism
Ok...so let’s take a look and see
what we can see first... and then
let’s try to come to some sort of
understanding about what it is we
think/know we are seeing and
experiencing...
Ok...so what moods,
feelings and words come to
mind...just say it!
So…does dreamy or dreamlike come to
mind…how about fantastic…real but not
real at the same time…like a waking
dream…a blend of the conscious and sub-
conscious…maybe a daydream or a
nightmare? Or, maybe, to use the
colloquial…just plain weird
All right, let’s look at that again and describe the
feeling of what we are seeing…
I’ve been to the beach plenty of times and never
seen this and yet somehow it’s almost
believable. ALMOST?!?!
Surreal Technique #1 - Levitation
Have you ever had the dream that you are flying?
Well, that’s not the same as Levitating…but maybe
the Seven Techniques of Surrealism DO relate to the
world of our DREAMS. And to some, our dreams are
not only UNIVERSAL, but ANCIENT AND
Primordial…SO, let’s take a look what does
Levitation look like, how do we define it?
Technique # 2 Juxtaposition
To juxtapose means to place next to
each other or place side by side.
Think of what it means to put one thing next to
another….It’s objects and association…Have
you ever felt you were somewhere you weren’t
supposed to be?
Scale, When Something IS Too Big or Too Small…
Out OF Proportion, OUT OF SCALE!
We’ve all Been out of BALANCE at one time or
ANOTHER!
Metamorphosis or Transformation
When one thing changes into or becomes
another…
Dislocation…When Something Isn’t
Quite Right or Simply OUT OF
PLACE
Ambiquity…Or …Are You Sure
That’s What It Means…
‘Cause I was pretty sure it meant something
else!
Transparency…Seeing Through
One Thing And Into Another
