“My Battle My Participation and My Position in the Surrealist Revolution ‘Surrealist Object’ versus ‘Narrated Dream’

Critical-Paranoiac Activity Versus Automatism.”

Salvador Dali, The secret life of Salvador Dali

Peter Sloterdijk considers the world as a foamy space filled with bubbles and orbs of different scales and qualities in his trilogy Spheres.10 The bubble is not purely a metaphor. According to Sloterdijk and his metaphor of the womb, it is an imaginative constitution of our very existence. In a relationship between a person and a building (or any man-made object), one unconsciously tries to recreate the relationship between a fetus and its first place to exist - the womb to protect itself from the ‘outside’. In order to achieve this purpose, a sphere often functions as an apparatus of narrative.

Spheres, as the first product of human cooperation, are shared spaces set up by common inhabitation within them, as described by Peter Sloterdijk. He also pointed out that “the process of civilization was advanced not by the division of labour, but of spheres; it is the primal agreement of the community about itself within itself.”11 Globalisation creates an illusion that we are in the same bubble. However, globalization is achieved through the infinite procreation of microspheres. Instead of living in the same bubble, people are living in a state of “ko-isoliert”, isolated coexistence. Capitalism prefers this state of “ko-isoliert”12 in the societies where people can be easily guided through a symbolic system. Our modern ideologies often operates with the symbolic beyond the conscious control. Even certain aesthetic functions as the signifiers towards ideologies. On the other hand, globalisation is never a geographical or material globalization. Globalisation is presented as a narrative dream. Some might call this dream in another -name – “ideology”.
