Where the viewer seeks confidence in their interpretation of the image Magritte undermines this with an oxymoron. Both text and image thus perpetually undermine each other, each vying for verisimilitude.

Realistically both of them present the truth — the pipe resembles an object in the real world, whilst the sentence reiterates that this image is not an object of the real world. Manipulation of the everyday is also a theme of nonsense works, the tea party in Alice in Wonderland for example is an event in which specifically Victorian social expectations are warped by illogicalities.

Perhaps the most nonsensical and Surrealist space is that of the dream. In dream the unconscious and conscious mind interact to produce an unregulated reality. The structure of the narrative represents the fragmented subjective processing of reality, blending the real with absurdity in a way that resembles the nonsense of the dream world. Within the tempestuous space of the film the characters are subjected to the violence of their subconscious; whole scenes are reinterpreted as dreams after they have occurred.

The dream is thus both timeless and immaterial and so is equated with a kind of limbo state. It feels jarring to the viewer as what is recounted is wholly personal. The dreamscape is a space of the indefinite past where memory functions nonsensically.

This is why the dream is so forcibly and violently crying out for interpretation by the viewer, but this would simply privilege reality and render the dream subservient to it. The narrator has a split consciousness that resides in two separate narratives and seemingly separate worlds.

Surrealists saw the displacement of subjective space as an experience synonymous with religious ecstasy. Masson describes such a moment occurring in the mountains of Montserrat in Barcelona:.

The sky itself appeared to me like an abyss, something which I had never felt before — the vertigo above the vertigo below. I found myself in a sort of maelstrom, almost a tempest, and as though hysterical.

I thought I was going mad. The space of the elevator is reminiscent of this in its stasis of both elevation and the feeling of being underground. And yet Wonderland is a space without boundaries, without reason or structure. Thus the hard-boiled reality may seem from the outside permanently dual, inside it is a world ruled by chaos and nonsense. Nonsense becomes a space where the chaos of representation and meaning is liberated.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next.

First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs.

Down, down, down. In more human terms, this means that whenever you buy a book on Amazon from any link on here, I receive a small percentage of its price, which goes straight back into my own colossal biblioexpenses.

Down the Rabbit Hole For more than half a century, this unusual yet organic cross-pollination of genius remained an almost mythic artifact, reserved for collectors and scholars.
