In the search for realities that contemplated the psychic depths of man, Surrealist painting explored unexpected associations and surprising disproportions. Berni demonstrated these concepts in Paris at the end of the ‘20s and developed them in paintings and collages that he exhibited in Buenos Aires in 1932. In these works, ordinary objects acquire significant importance due to their excessive scale with respect to the spaces they occupy and their location in unusual contexts. Other strange effects are added to these images, uncertain scenes, in which erotic obsession and despair in the face of violence reign. In some of them made in Argentina, Berni incorporated regional elements such as landscapes with the characteristic barbed wire fences of the Pampas plain or simple architecture common in the interior of the country, contrasted with typical European constructions.
