In A Book of Surrealist Games, readers are invited into the captivating realm of Surrealism, where creativity knows no bounds. This comprehensive collection of the methods used by the artists and poets of the Surrealist school explores the movement’s radical approach to art and thought, offering a collection of games and techniques that serve as both historical document and practical manual for unlocking the unconscious mind. Discover how the Surrealists used play and chance to subvert established norms and liberate words and images from rational constraints. From automatic writing to the exquisite corpse, Alastair Brotchie and Mel Gooding help illuminate the collaborative nature of Surrealist practices, revealing how these playful activities fostered unexpected connections among artists. This collection also examines the philosophical underpinnings of the movement, exploring its critique of societal norms and bourgeois values. A Book of Surrealist Games challenges readers to reclaim their imaginative faculties and engage with the world in a more playful way, where everyday objects transform into symbols of deeper meaning and dreams manifest in tangible forms.
