With Salvador Dalí as its figurehead, the great ship of Surrealism traversed the turbulent seas of the early 20th century with sails billowing with dreams and desires. Inspired by the psychoanalytical practice of Sigmund Freud, the Surrealists championed the unconscious as the domain of truth, uninhibited by the standards or expectations of society. With techniques ranging from hypnotism to nocturnal walks to automatic writing, the likes of André Breton, Max Ernst, Brassaï, and Meret Oppenheim produced paintings, drawings, texts, and films in which they sought to excavate their most intimate and primal ... |

Пилигрим ставаш, си и оставаш... Великият Гьоте казва, че съзнанието на Европа се е родило в пилигримството. Тъкмо пилигримите са помогнали за оформяне на географията на спасението: техните маршрути, техните връзки и открития са създали географска карта на свещеното, а пешеходното пилигримство до Сантяго де Компостела може да се преживее и като дълга медитация върху Европа. Чрез него ценности, едновременно християнски и човешки, като достойнство на човешката личност, чувство за справедливост и свобода, стремеж към труд, предприемачески дух, любов към семейството и уважение към живота, толерантност и желание за мир, ... |
