Surrealism [அடிமன வெளிப்பாட்டியம்] is a treachery of images !
Surrealism is an art and cultural movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in which artists aimed to allow the unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of illogical or dreamlike scenes and ideas. Its intention was, according to leader André Breton, to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or surreality. It produced works of painting, writing, theatre, filmmaking, photography, and other media as well. Works of Surrealism feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur.
Surrealism aims to
revolutionise human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one
that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. While Surrealism started as a literary
movement in the prose and poetry of Breton and others, visual artists such as
Giorgio de Chirico, Pablo Picasso, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp embraced
Surrealism and were recognized in Breton’s 1925 publication, “La Révolution
Surréaliste.” A fundamental aspect of the Surrealist movement is a mode of
expression called “automatism,” which involves the act of automatic or
uncensored recording of the thoughts and images that emerge into an artist’s
mind. With a focus on tapping into involuntary thought processes and
interpreting dreams, Surrealist artwork is not limited to a specific artistic
style or technique.

This may not be the exact representation of Surrealism – here the Thiruther is real, so also are the artificial decorators yet the juxtaposition is an illusion.
