“Emission” 発酵・発光

Due to recent progress in science, almost the infinite amount of information is now available. At the same time, we can easily take pictures of our everyday life with a camera or video attached to a mobile phone anytime, anywhere.

And instantly we can spread them all over the world on the Internet.

But can we really observe and record the entire world in this way?

Once, "photography" as an avant-garde science has worked well with art, giving rise to impressionism and cubism. However, due to the outbreak of World War I, Cubist artists failed to deepen their brilliant theory.

Truly, World War I was a massacre game in which all science and technology were used.

The scenes of massacre by using machine guns, tanks, poison gas, and fighter planes were conveyed to the people by vivid photos from the battlefield.

The limbs mutilated to pieces and the bodies swollen with poison gas were like the living hell of this world.

Until then there were war paintings. However, they were heroic depictions of soldiers in order to inspire people's fighting spirit.

For the first time, eople knew the reality of war through photography.

And they realize that it was the “future” that science and technology has brought.

It was a natural result that conscientious artists began to feel intense suspicion and disgust that the art had till then accepted the benefits of science.

Among them the artists who fled the war and went into exile in Switzerland began the Dadaism movement.

They violently insulted and destroyed the art itself, which was only the lofty hobby of the bourgeois who became rich with the benefits of science (no more intense destruction of art has yet appeared).

On the other hand, artists who did not exile from Paris ran away in their dreams in search of an unreasonable world to escape from the hunter called "reason".

Because of the surreal War photos, these artists were aroused by the intense feeling of madness that was sleeping in the bottom of the mind.

And in 1924, 10 years after the outbreak of World War I, Andre Breton made a “Surrealism Declaration”.

In 1917 ,during World War I, as if synchronized Freud proved the existence of subconscious in the book “Introduction to Psychoanalysis”.

Along with Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" and Darwin's "Theory of Evolution", Freud's "Subconscious" was one of the three major discoveries that opened history into the modern era.

The discovery of subconscious enabled us to recognize the existence of deep darkness that expands behind the world we are seeing.

For the first time, African art, children's drawings, madman's works, etc. entered the field of art. And El Greco was newly recognized by the surrealist artists that awakened to the subconscious. In this way, due to the photograph the field of art has expanded dramatically.
