Description # Surreal © Emmanuel Knibbe 2007



this is my first DD!



[ I want to precize that there's absolutely no manipulation on this photo.]



One day this dried rose has fallen on this old pic and inspired me this.


The rose symbolise the heart, that's why i've put it on the brain. Especially because in the Surreal movement the creations were ruled by heart and passion rather than the reason .

Then i add the needles, one on the head, and one in the eye.
It remembers me the quote : "Breton call them to close their eyes and speak their dreams".

It's also a tribute to Bunuel with his famous pic with the razor in the eye.




... In the background, André Breton

(french Poet, leader of the Literary & Artistic Movement :
" Le Surréalisme" create in Paris, in the years 1920.)


The works they present feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur.)
Influenced by Freudianism and dedicated to the expression of imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason and free of convention.

André Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.
( Many of its adherents had belonged to the Dada movement. )





André Breton, Philippe Soupault, Robert Desnos, Antonin Artaud, Louis Aragon, Paul Eluard, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, André Masson, René Magritte, Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Luis Bunuel,....

Rose respresents deep love and romantic love...Needles represent painful. Combinating these two extreme elements and feeling into one. I found different layers of feeling in this picture. Putting the rose on the original picture which is a later layer of work. It is a very special handling skill.

Excellent expression!

....i'm still looking the exact feeling for this work...or I couldn't find any better words for this...just need to feel as the way you feel!

i think this one is the strongest of the three. the darkness gives a very mysterious feeling.

Thank you!
i perfectly agree with you
it's the one i prefer!
even if it's a bit blurr, the rose is more mix whith the head and it's more expressive so.
the darkness gives it a special ambiance, that's true.

Merci à toi!
Ravi qu'elle te plaise, j'aime beaucoup aussi
La photo qui est la base de ce travail date des années 20 en effet.

En fin de compte, après avoir regardé plus attentivement tes deux photos, je pense que je vais réviser mon choix et préférer l'autre, j'ai regardé les vignettes hier soir, et j'avais cliqué préférentiellement sur celle-ci car il me semblait que l'aiguille à tricoter était plus visible, pour découvrir ce matin et avec les yeux reposé, que la lisibilité est meilleure sur l'autre image.

Ah oui vraiment? lol
L'autre est plus nette c'est vrai.
Ma préférence reste à celle-ci car si elle est plus floue, l'angle de la photo positionne la rose différemment et je la préfère ainsi.
Mais surtout aussi car elle se font ainsi mieux avec la photo initiale.
