The secret of surrealism

"The secret of surrealism was that the most banal reality could become surreal, but only at privileged moments, which still derived from art and the imaginary. Now the whole everyday political, social, historial, economic reality is incorporated into the simulative dimension of the hyperrealism; we already live out the “aesthetic” hallucination of realty.
