The surrealist Revolution
Textem Verlag and the editors Benjamin Dittmann-Bieber and Christian Driesen presented the complete (new) translation of the legendary magazine La Révolution surréaliste in autumn 2024.
All twelve issues of the magazine have been reproduced exactly: the German versions of the texts have been inserted
the German versions of the texts have been inserted. At first glance, the result is a
faithful reproduction of the issues. A graphic-haptic reanimation of the original
magazines – with new German translations.
The year 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Surrealism, one of the most impulsive
avant-garde movements of the 20th century. It's time for a revision – and a re-reading.
Because the reception of surrealism in Germany still remains very strongly based on the
visual arts, whereas surrealism in France was and is primarily perceived as a literary
movement. One reason for this is certainly the language barrier.
The magazine La Révolution surréaliste
The twelve issues of the legendary magazine La Révolution surréaliste were published between 1924
and 1929. They are the literary epicenter and one of the main documents of French
surrealism. It documents the awakening, production, energies, development and contradictions, the
politicization, failure and continuation of one of the central and most powerful
artistic movements of the 20th century.
The magazine contains famous polemical manifestos and proclamations as well as countless
literary texts by Simone and André Breton, Antonin Artaud, Max Morise, Paul Elouard, Robert
Queneau, Benjamin Péret, etc. Many of these texts are the first publications of the authors:
dream protocols, surrealist texts, poems, language games (Cadavre Exquis) and
experiments, surveys on suicide and sexuality, dialogues, pamphlets, persiflage, letters to the editor,
nonsense, absurdities, and, on top of that, advertisements for exhibitions, books, galleries – each issue is
a map of the cultural field.
Furthermore, the magazine contains many illustrations: newspaper clippings, photos, drawings and
collages. The semantic image-text combinations are visible and conceptually graspable
