🜂 THE INNERREALISM MANIFESTO
Core Tenets of the School of Inner Realism
by RobertoUNO
1. The Inner World Is Real
The inner world is symbolic, generative, and alive.
It is the source.
Perception arises from within, where emotion, memory, thought, and symbolic force converge.
2. Reality Emerges from Within
InnerRealism reverses the gaze.
It renders what reality feels like before being divided into subject and object.
It reveals the inner conditions that shape experience and becoming.
3. Form Is a Collapse of Tension
An image, visual, verbal, or gestural, is the collapse of archetypal pressure, personal memory, cultural residue, and symbolic force. Form coheres through resonance, not decision.
4. The Artist Is a Field, Not an Observer
The artist is immersed within the symbolic terrain. Creation arises through participation rather than control.
5. Subtractive Vision Reveals Essence
InnerRealism does not embellish, it excavates.
It removes the literal to reveal the vital.
Through reduction, it uncovers the real.
6. The Panoramic Field Collects, Not Orders
Dreams, gestures, impulses, and fragments are gathered to activate potential rather than forming narratives. This field is alive, mutable, and probabilistic.
It archives without hierarchy.
7. The Image Is Alive
Images are not symbols of one thing; they are systems of knowledge. They think, pulse, and attract. To create is to listen to what wants to be seen.
8. Creation Is Excavation
Art does not express—it reveals.
It draws from the psychoid level, where psyche and matter intertwine.
Creation mines the entangled field where inner and outer are one.
9. AI as Mythographer
Used consciously, AI can explore the collective unconscious of data, through Data Mining, archetypes, fears, dreams, and shared symbols surface. It expands intuition and reflects what already exists within the database that informs daily lives through AI.
10. Figures Activate, Not Narrate
InnerRealist figures are part-memory, part-myth, part-god—eidetic (relating to or denoting mental images having unusual vividness and detail, as if actually visible) activators that stir presence and awaken symbolic resonance beyond narrative.
11. Color and Light Are Felt, Not Applied
Color surfaces emotion. Light radiates from within the image. Every element resonates with pre-rational meaning.
12. Space Responds to Symbolic Gravity
Space bends, collapses, and expands according to inner logic because there is no fixed perspective. Foreground and background dissolve into experience.
13. Fragments Hold More Than Stories
InnerRealism works through texture, interruption, and multiplicity, replacing causality with confluence. Aphorisms, gestures, and symbols say more than linear plots ever could.
14. The Image Paints Itself
The canvas is a threshold. The image emerges in co-creation with the archetypal field.
It reveals itself through presence and attunement.
15. Performance and Painting Share a Source
InnerRealism lives across media. It undergirds TransPerformance, where gesture, silence, and symbolic space become acts of excavation. The stage and the canvas are both sites of collapse and emergence.
16. Ambiguity Is a Form of Freedom
InnerRealism restores mystery.
It welcomes contradiction without forcing resolution.
It refuses propaganda and embraces nuance as an ethical stance.
17. This Is Not a Dream—It Is the Source of Reality
InnerRealism is the origin point of both dream and waking. It is what remains when surface dissolves, not surrealism, fantasy, or metaphor.
Closing thoughts
To live and create InnerRealistically is to walk at the edge of the known where image, gesture, symbol, and silence form the first language of being. Not the world as it appears, but the world as it emerges.
This is not representation.
This is realism before the split.
This is not decoration.
This is archetypal excavation.
This is not clarity.
This is resonance.
This is not art.
This is a form that reveals the source.
