People think of surrealism as an art movement in the painting world. But the famous Surrealist, Salvador Dali, once said his paintings were just “color photography done by hand.”

That’s the idea behind the new exhibit at the museum in St. Petersburg the bears Dali’s name. The Dali Museum has launched “The Subversive Eye,” a collection of Surrealist and experimental photography collected by David Raymond.

The exhibit with will feature hundreds of works from dozens of artists, showing early examples of multiple exposure, unusual perspective, cropping and solarization to show the world in a unique way.

“It’s the idea that the world is different than we assume it to be,” said Peter Tush, senior curator for education at the Dali Museum. “It’s much more irrational and magical.”

“The Subversive Eye” will be at the Dali Museum through May 4.

It’s included with general admission to the museum.
