[SERBIAN AVANT-GARDE - SURREALISM - PHOTOGRAPHY] Nemoguće: L'impossible [The impossible]

The anthology Nemogucé is a key publication of the Serbian avant-garde, which contains the first printing of the manifesto of the group, which numbered thirteen members. It also contains other programmatic texts, as well as contributions by Serbian and French writers and artists. Among the French collaborators of the publication were André Breton, Paul Éluard, Benjamin Péret, Louis Aragon, and René Char. The Serbian surrealists include: Milan Dedinac, Vane Jivadinovitch-Bor, Đorđe Kostić, Mladen Dimitrijević, Đorđe Jovanović, Koča Popović, Petar Popović, Radojica Živanović Noe, Aleksandar Vučo, Dušan Matić, Oskar Davičo, Marko Ristić und Branko Milovanović. The manifesto was later published in the journal "Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution" (Surréalisme ASDLR), a surrealist publication published 1930-1933.

The Nemogucé anthology was also important for the development of surrealist-influenced photography in former Yugoslavia. "Dušan Matić worked on Surrealist photo collages that coincided, in turn, with the appearance of left-wing literature, and followed in the footsteps of Man Ray and Maurice-Tabard by using double exposure and montages..." (See Davor Konjikušić, Konjikušić, Red Glow: Yugoslav Partisan Photography and Social Movement, 1941-1945, p. 43). Vane Bor and Nikola Vučo also experimented with surrealist photography.
