L'amour fou , after all, has its lighter, more vital aspect. Repeatedly he finds himself pointing to the theme of the protagonist's violent relationship to the concrete world - the world of ladders and motorcars, of grand pianos and faucets, of top hats and umbrellas. In a certain way, my attraction to surrealism came from the fact that it forced me to face my own obsessions. And, paradoxically, the sensibility I discovered within myself was hardly surrealist. I was already drawn to the mundanity of reality, everyday details.
Surrealism uses an a priori formula in order to declare the presence of mystery.
Now, for me, what is proper to the unveiling of mystery is the 'unforeseen encounter'.
