Photographic fantasy: more agile and faster in discoveries than murky subconscious processes!
Salvador Dali
Image
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature, understand them thoroughly.
Salvador Dali
Image
Photographic data... is still and ESSENTIALLY THE SAFEST POETIC MEDIUM and the most agile process for catching the most delicate osmoses which exist between reality and surreality. The mere fact of photographic transposition means a total invention: the capture of a secret reality.

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.
