Dolfi Trost's 1953 Surrealist Book Translated, Linked to Deleuze and Guattari

In a 2012 publication, Catherine Hansen presents a condensed translation of 'Visible et Invisible,' a 1953 work by Romanian Surrealist Dolfi Trost. Trost, associated with a little-known and rarely examined Surrealist group in Bucharest, advocated for the creation of a new revolutionary community rooted in a self-aware or 'cosmic' consciousness, expressed through dreams and a 'spiritually heightened schizophrenia.' His writings captured the interest of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and the translation is framed within their anti-oedipal and schizoanalytic frameworks.

The article, published on June 5, 2012, emphasizes Trost's significant yet underappreciated contributions to Surrealist ideology.
