Tour through a century of Surrealism artworks in a quest to answer poignant questions on humanity and identity.

Surrealism revolutionized art with fantastic and radically subjective motifs. As a political and international movement, artists wanted to change society. The topicality of their ideas enables a fascinating comparison between important pioneers of Surrealism and the following generations of artists.

In a world that is increasingly dominated by technology, the examination of one's consciousness, which was characteristic of Surrealism, is moving into focus once more. What effects are technologies having on our society? What is it that makes us human? Topics like the search for identity, irrationality and the game of perception can be found in the works of René Magritte and Claude Cahun, as well as David Lynch and Cindy Sherman. Featuring 120 top-class paintings, photographs, film sequences, collages, and sculptures, this book provides an exciting tour through one hundred years of surreal worlds.
