Superfictions 1924 - 2024: The Existence lies Somewhere Else

It is that spirit of freedom that continues to appeal to us and that we consider to be detached from the iconography and visée créative of the pieces that make up this exhibition. More than an anniversary, we intend to vindicate a legacy without which it would be difficult to apprehend many of the most current practices. Or at least, of those that have not fallen into the cryptic temptation of remaining indigestible in order to supposedly avoid being absorbed by the consumerist flow. Obviously, here we call for a concept of freedom “liberated” from the programming of neoliberal behaviors, under the name of flexibility and autonomy, or from the one that liberal governance gives to individuals. And now it is beginning to seem that it is going to be very difficult for us to regain hope in progress and imagine other futures. Perhaps Breton’s conclusion for his first Manifesto should still seem pertinent to us: “To live and to let live are imaginary solutions. The existence lays somewhere else.”
