Here we are, stuck between dreams and reality. Look around you, Pandas. On the one hand, you’re surrounded by everything that’s familiar, real, recognizable. But as you take a closer peek, you might notice just how odd, how surreal the world can be and it’s not always clear if we’re awake or if our imaginations are playing impish tricks on us.

What we have in store for you today is something special. We’re featuring the ‘Accidental Surrealism’ subreddit, an art and photography-loving online community that shares pics of things that, well, accidentally look like surreal art. Even though the premise is straightforward, the photos are anything but. They will challenge your perception of reality and, hopefully, will inspire you to look at your own surroundings in a different light.

Make sure to keep a strong grip on what’s real as you scroll down, Pandas. Don’t forget to upvote the photos that you enjoyed the most, go visit r/accidentalsurrealism if you enjoyed yourselves, and last but not least: if everything starts melting, keep an eye out for the ghost of Salvador Dalí.

Former art gallery director and art expert Shelby Bercume, from Florida, enlightened Bored Panda about surrealism and Dalí. You'll find out what she had to say if you scroll down, dear Pandas.

According to former art gallery director Shelby, every art movement focuses on something different. "The reason surrealism is so recognizable is that the subject matter reflects the inner workings of the subconscious," she told Bored Panda. "That’s why the images are considered dream-like because, in actuality, they are dreams and hallucinations."

Although surrealism is instantly recognizable for many, Shelby doesn't believe that we wouldn't be able to mix it up with some other art movements. "There are always overlaps," she said, alluding to the Dada movement which some confuse for surrealism. "But it definitely has a flavor."

    The art expert also ruminated about the success of Dalí. "The popularity of Dalí, mostly due to his wife Gala’s business sense, is what makes surrealism so recognizable. It had significant exposure to people that otherwise wouldn’t have known what it is," she mused about part of the reasons why the artist became so widely known.

    Shelby added: "Dalí's popularity was also due to his eccentric behavior and incredibly famous friends coupled with the time. Basically, all the ingredients were there for Dalí to take flight, and surrealism was thrust into the spotlight as part of a consequence."

    I can actually pinpoint the couple repeat copy paste birds, even though they're flipped, slightly stretched, etc. Look at the "couple birds" near each other, who are lifting one foot (so it doesnt touch the shadow), and their beaks are looking back at the camera at a specific angle, and their tails touch their tail shadows. That one i can definitely identify as one of the birds used repeatedly for this photoshopped image. It's cool looking, though. It's just not naturally occurring.

    Surrealism was a movement in visual art and literature that flourished in Europe between the First and Second World Wars. Largely influenced by the Dada movement and anti-art ideas that came before, surrealism was a reaction to the destruction brought about by ‘rationalism’ and the brutality of massive-scale warfare.

    Encyclopaedia Britannica notes that poet and critic André Breton, the publisher of The Surrealist Manifesto, saw the movement as “reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world.” The end result would be “an absolute reality, a surreality.”

    Surrealist art, photography, and literature can seem illogical or even unnerving as the creators delve deeper and deeper into the unconscious mind and how it entangles cold, hard reality. Surrealism is meant to surprise, shock the viewer, present them with an alternative way of looking at the world. In a way, you can’t have surrealism without stepping outside the box of your own comfort and realizing that rationalism is limited.

    Had something like this happen on my car. The slow-melt-and-refreeze effect caused a 16" shelf of snow to slowly grow straight off the passenger side of my roof. I was creeping around town with a 16" rectangular jut of snow hanging off my car, boldly defying gravity, completely smooth and flat on the bottom, parallel to the ground.

    Reminds me of the time I brought a black light and polarizing lens (I worked with glass and it was part of my toolkit) to the hotel and out of curiosity I fired it up. I really wished I didn't. Not only the floors, I now use combat boots as slippers, but the duvet was a giant splotch. This was a $250 a night room in 1992, not cheap.

    I’m not saying hotel rooms are the cleanest places, but the common idea that anything that shows up is a bodily fluid is not entirely correct. Detergent whitening agents show up on black light and the big splotch could be where the detergent initially hit before washing. Would show up on a carpet like that too. Also stuff can show up on a black light no matter how much you wash them. Did you ever try the black light at your house? Seeing splotches in a hotel room doesn’t necessarily mean people are just jizzing all over the walls and floors and duvets. Though that can happen. I went on some tour stops with a band once.

    In terms of content, r/accidentalsurrealism is very similar to r/accidentalart and r/AccidentalArtGallery. However, those of you Pandas who know your way around the internet might notice that there’s more than just a passing resemblance to the r/AccidentalRenaissance subreddit that Bored Panda has featured time and again. The idea—stumbling upon something art-related by pure happenstance—is the same; the art movement is different.

    ‘Accidental Surrealism’ has only two rules that members need to follow (well, alongside all the regulations requiring you to be civil that you agreed to the moment you signed up to Reddit). The first rule is fairly straightforward: the surrealism in your photo has to be accidental. It can’t be deliberate! If you stage things to farm karma and get awesome comments, you’re missing the point.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The second rule is slightly murkier, however. Your photos have to “fit the criteria for surrealism,” but the subreddit’s mod notes that “this is subjective.”

    Earlier, Bored Panda spoke to art historian and creator of educational videos, Mary McGillivray. According to her, a lot of people have a perception about art and art history that stops them from delving into the topics headfirst.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “A lot of people think that art history is very serious and very important and this leads to them feeling overwhelmed—or even feeling like art history isn't for them. This isn't true!” Mary told me during a previous interview. “I've said it before and I'll say it again, art history is just old memes. Once we start to see the humor and the humanity in art, it becomes far less intimidating.”

    Meanwhile, former gallery director and art expert Shelby told Bored Panda a bit earlier that art history can often be “intimidating and difficult to grasp” for those without a background in it because it’s a subject that far from every school teaches. If schools took a more proactive approach to art history, there might be many more experts in the field and far more online groups like r/accidentalsurrealism.

    This pic made me think of a song my mom used to sing about a man who ran off with Peg Leg Johnson's wife, taking the guy's wooden leg with him so the guy couldn't follow them. The chorus went, "I'm a three-legged man with a two-legged woman being chased cross country by a one-legged foot! And it's hoppin' and it's cloppin', and it shows no sign of stoppin', I tell you, boys, this life is hard and cruel!" LOL!

    "I don’t necessarily think art history is an inaccessible entity, but I know that people tend to feel intimidated by things they aren’t experts in. Since art is often, if not always subjective, it feels even more intimidating than a subject with a 'right answer,' like math for example. I think often that leads to a disconnect between the desire to dive into the subject of art and by relation art history, and the execution of it,” art expert Shelby explained to Bored Panda.

    In Shelby’s opinion, art shouldn’t be exclusionary: it should be accessible to everyone, no matter their background or education. “Art is something to be enjoyed and shouldn’t be reserved for an exclusive group," she said.

    "Art is aesthetics and feelings. If you love something, voice why you love it... if you can’t find the words, that’s ok! Talking about art is really discussing how the art affects your emotional state and what thoughts it provokes," former art gallery director Shelby said.

    All I could find on this: This is because the sun and the camera make the same angle to the water surface. We're just seeing the sun's reflection on the water. The reflection appears to takes up so much area because the camera is actually very far away and is using a lot of magnification (makeing the sun look larger).

    Took ages but look at the signs in the right. Basically garage flooded and reflecting ceiling. There is no down ramp.

    It took me quite a while to get it… To those with no clue, it's a flooded car park with pretty low ceiling. The grounds behind the yellow-and-white hump are flooded. The dark line in the middle of the wall is just above water level, those beneath are reflections. Still can't get it? Cover the left half of the photo.

    I'm in Florida, where we have months of 95℉ plus, with really high humidity. I wear long sleeves and long pants every day. You get used to it, and skin cancer is a bitch. It isn't that uncommon, many of the people here, who are outside a lot, stay pretty covered up.

    It's taken as a panorama, and the stitching obviously failed due to all the movement (and due to op rotating the phone. – maybe he had it set to panorama on accident and didn't realize). The phone just did what it was told to do. 1. You set the camera app to take a panorama. 2. Then while taking the panorama, rotate the phone 90 degrees and hope it looks cool. - explained by @Dead Panda

    They don't look abandoned. They look like they were picked up and stored someplace because they lack utility. Abandoned would be phone booths on the side of the road.

    I feel like something useful could be done with them. Like, maybe a few could be joined into a single cabin and they could at least be cold weather shelters for people or animals or something.

    Nope, they are "out of date", because no-one used them any longer. It's Germany btw. 😊

    So that the Chinese Communist Party officials and police, can identify protesters. Any protesters there, would also be dyed blue, making them easy to identify and arrest.

    one should note that those ended up being not peaceful protests but riots. Riots are illegal in most countries.

    The blue dye was to make it so any people the HKPD had hit with the water cannon would be easily identifiable for arrest after the crowds were dispersed

    The Chinese government raised 700 million people out of poverty in the past 20 years, while the US spent trillions on war and destruction. What have you achieved in that same time?

    Please tell me that the dye isn't so protesters are marked and easier to identify after the fact...
