creative process for the exploration of the creative potential of dream imagery and subconscious thoughts, irrational knowledge based on a delirium of interpretation, it makes the world of delirium pass onto the plane of reality, by simulating paranoia one can systematically undermine one’s rational view of the world, which becomes continually subjected to associative transformations — interview on video

“Presentation by Dalí

Paranoia and critical
The method is based on a “faculty” that only some have, that of being inhabited by “associations and delusional interpretations”. This is the ” paranoia ” part of the method. Whether in the framework of an authentic delusion or that of an ordinary fantasy, the extravagant ideas at the origin of the work are organized in a structure. It is this structure, specific to what is the theme of an obsession, “objective”, and not the subjective thought of the artist, which systematically generates and links the images from one and several obsessive ideas.

However, these images of obsessive ideas will “be objectified a priori by the critical intervention “, that is to say, thanks to distant reflection, the eye of the artist. This is the “critical” part of the method. The role of the artist is to be receptive to these “associations” of images and to understand the system that associates them, “interpret” their meaning, to organize them into a work.”
