The surrealism of Parisian images by Gyula Halász was nothing more than the real made of the vision.

In Belgrade, http://www.tob.rs/ Surrealism has a very special way of expressing itself, which surprises you as you walk between Simina and Kapetan Mišina, where you find a corner – in the Dorcol district – with a strange plaque (bent to adjust to the corner), which signals the way. It was the idea of a group of creative people, with a particular name: “The illegal pastry makers”. The district administration did not take that sign, which continues to give visibility to an anonymous corner of the city.
