| Long abstract | This is a question concerning architecture. An immersion into the imaginary worlds, specifically the fusion of an imaginary world into the everyday real, was the great project of surrealism. The surrealist avant-garde sought to open up a supra-sensory milieu of impossible relations, including monstrous bodies, irrational hybrids, genre mutations, forbidden landscapes and gardens, and a whole range of partial co-located figures and gestures, half real and half other. Surrealism was the promise of a world of alterity and delight, capable of emerging or eru-pting at the slightest provocation, in the subtlest periph-eral glimpse of a disfiguration, and in the recall of the sense and feel of a new space (déjà vu, already sensed). Surrealism is the obverse of modern rationalism, both intersecting but incomplete projects. It is from this call that unrecognized medieval alterity can diversify medie-val architectural history beyond the monumental history of differentiated cathedrals (and walled cities). |
