Abstract

The article focuses on Salvador Elizondo's contributions to Mexican literature and visual arts during the 1960s, particularly through his magazine S.NOB. Hebdomadario and the experimental film Apocalypse 1900. Elizondo, a prominent figure in Mexican literature, utilized collage and appropriation techniques influenced by surrealism and the works of artists like Max Ernst and Georges Bataille. S.NOB served as a platform for avant-garde experimentation, featuring contributions from notable artists and writers, while Apocalypse 1900 employed nineteenth-century illustrations to critique civilization and progress. The article highlights Elizondo's role in fostering a dynamic cultural scene marked by collaboration and innovation in the arts. [Extracted from the article]
