What was Dalí's paranoiac-critical method?
The paranoiac-critical method is not mere madness; it is a 'spontaneous method of irrational knowledge.' I cultivate systematic paranoia to interpret delirious phenomena, linking disparate elements with a new, terrifying logic. By actively engaging in the irrational associations that arise from obsessional states, I can unlock hidden realities and create a profound, often unsettling, interpretation of the world. It's about seeing the world not as it is, but as it could be, through the distorted lens of the subconscious.
