For many artists and intellectuals in East Germany, daily life had
an undeniably surreal aspect, from the numbing repetition of
Communist Party jargon to the fear and paranoia engendered by the
Stasi. Echoes of Surrealism surveys the ways in which a sense of
the surreal infused literature and art across the lifespan of the
GDR, focusing on individual authors, visual artists, directors,
musicians, and other figures who have employed surrealist
techniques in their work. It provides a new framework for
understanding East German culture, exploring aesthetic practices
that offered an alternative to rigid government policies and
questioned and confronted the status quo.
