“Ceci n’est pas une ideosemada” translates from French to “this is not an ideosemada” in English.
The video and images associated with “Ceci n’est pas une ideosemada” are a reference to painting titled “The Treachery of Images” by the Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte.
Magritte’s painting depicts a pipe with the French sentence written underneath it, challenging the viewers’ perception of reality and representation.
(The words “ceci n’est pas une pipe” translates from French to “this is not a pipe” in English)
Magritte’s work often explores the relationship between language and images, questioning the ways in which we interpret and understand the world around us.
The painting is considered one of the most iconic examples of surrealist art.
“Ceci n’est pas une ideosemada” acknowledges the influence of that iconic painting and the inspiration it plays in the Mimicalism Movement and the creation of polyonoms.
