The sad consequence of all this is that we no longer know what to do with the real world. We can no longer see any need whatever for this residue which has become an encumbrance. A crucial philosophical problem, that of the real which has been “laid off”. And we have the same problem with unemployment: what is to be done with labour in the computer age? What are we to make of this exponential waste? Dump it back into the dustbins of history? Put it into orbit, send it into space? It will be no easier getting rid of the corpse of reality. In desperation, we shall be forced to turn it into a special attraction, a historical tableau, a nature reserve: “Coming to you live from reality! Visit this strange world! Experience the thrill of the real world!”

In 1955, photographer Charles Hewitt was granted rare access to Salvador Dalí during a pivotal moment in the artist's career.
Dalí had returned to Spain after years of self-imposed exile and was working to reestablish himself not just as a painter, but as a full-fledged cultural icon.
By the mid-1950s, Dalí had already broken from the Surrealist movement, both politically and artistically and was entering what he called his "nuclear mysticism" phase, combining religion, physics, and Renaissance techniques. Hewitt's photos didn't just capture Dali's personality, they helped reshape his image for a postwar audience hungry for spectacle, absurdity, and mystery.
Dalí saw every public appearance as a performance. By letting Hewitt photograph him in eccentric poses and strange compositions, he blurred the line between art and life even further, making himself the medium.
The photos were later featured in magazines across Europe, cementing Dali's status as more than just a painter: he was now a brand of surrealism all his own.
