DEFINITIONS<br />
Surrealism – A revolutionary movement led by philosopher Andre Breton, in the 1920s, as a reaction to the post-war life. Surrealism<br />
took its form in many mediums, including painting, poetry, photography, and film. The main objective of surrealism is to introduce a<br />
new reality through the convergence of the real life and the dream world.<br />
Surreality – the convergence of our interior reality (as in, our dreams, desire and unconscious) with the exterior reality (physical<br />
existence) to cre<strong>at</strong>e one absolute reality.<br />
Uncanny – unsettling, beyond wh<strong>at</strong> is expected, mysterious, unhomely, uncomfortable apprehension, beyond wh<strong>at</strong> is known<br />
Autom<strong>at</strong>ism – one of the many techniques surrealists used to cre<strong>at</strong>e their work; involved little to no self-conscious critique, similar<br />
to improvis<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
