Metarealism is a direction in Russian poetry and art that was born in the 1970s to the 1980s (Konstantin Kedrov, Viktor Krivulin, Elena Shvarts, Aleksandr Yeryomenko, Yuri Arabov, Alexei Parshchikov, and others).[1] The term was first used by Mikhail Epshtein, who coined it in 1981 and made it public in the Soviet magazine "Voprosy Literatury" in 1983[2]
M. Epshtein insists that in its philosophic dimension metarealism is "metaphysical realism," while "stylistically" metarealism is "metaphorical" realism.[3] Thus, "meta" means both "through" and "beyond" the reality that we all can see; hence, "metarealism" is the realism of the hyperphysical nature of things. The main expression of its essence is given through a non-visual metaphor or, according to another Epshtein's term, a "metabola" (rather than hyperbole), that means "transfer" or "transition," opening many dimensions.[4] "Metabola" is different from the symbol or a "visual" metaphor, because it assumes the interosculation of realities.[5] Metarealism has little to do with surrealism, since it appeals to the superconscious and not to the subconscious, thus opening up a many-dimensional perception of the world.
Metarealism further gained traction after it became a subject of the House of Artists debate at an exhibition of the hyperrealists, where its utility was discussed as a new method of creation to overcome traditional realism.[6]
