Abstract
The article focuses on the artwork "Untitled (surrealism)" by Gil J Wolman, a collage created around 1965 that pays homage to the surrealist movement. The piece incorporates recognizable images and texts related to key figures and events in surrealism, such as André Breton and the Dada demonstration in Paris. Wolman, associated with the Lettrist movement, developed a unique collage technique called Art Scotch, which utilizes adhesive tape to create layered compositions that reflect on memory and temporality. The article also explores Wolman's contributions to the concept of détournement, emphasizing his distinct approach that diverges from the Situationist International's interpretations, particularly in how he critiques contemporary imagery and its materiality.
