Set of five Gabrisnotes "André Breton tribute" in a folder (EN version)

Celebrate the centennial of the 1924 Surrealist Manifesto and the 130th anniversary of André Breton's birth with this exceptional collector's edition. This beautifully crafted folder contains a complete, limited set of five Gabrisnote® fantasy banknotes dedicated to the founder of Surrealism.

On the surface, these banknotes showcase masterful security design and a technically flawless portrait of young Breton. However, the true conceptual brilliance of this artwork is hidden in a parallel reality. When illuminated under ultraviolet (UV) light, a phosphorescent surrealist layer emerges. You will discover a continuous-line drawing of Nadja (the embodiment of Breton's obsession), sensually floating lips referencing Man Ray and Salvador Dalí, a silhouette nodding to René Magritte, and Lautréamont's iconic umbrella. This visual tension between the visible and the hidden turns the banknote into a surrealist manifesto in miniature.
