// El secreto by Jorge Macchi is a limited edition lithograph from 2011, produced in an edition of 50. This piece features cut-out newspaper headlines arranged in a geometric, puzzle-like configuration on a blank background. Each headline fragment contains evocative phrases in Spanish, such as un milagro (a miracle), un secreto (a secret), and un choque de trenes (a train collision). The arrangement of these text fragments forms a loose, almost maze-like path, inviting viewers to consider the narrative or thematic connections between the phrases. Macchi’s work often explores the intersection of chance, language, and meaning, with El secreto encouraging viewers to piece together their own interpretations from these suggestive snippets.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
