The diploma thesis problematizes the associative aspect of sensory perception over the cognitive one.
The concept of mimetic perplexity is introduced to denote such perception; this concept is initially discussed through three readings of the modality of my own work. I highlight that in its relation to the subject the image possesses the ability of correlative reformation, pointing out the use of a random stroke on the example of the Rorschach test. The introduced concept is substantiated on the example of two of Blechner's phenomena within the oneiric space – disjunctive cognition and the interobject, and on the example of the sound production of the Death Grips group, where I highlight the decontextualization of symbols as a device for tricking perception. In the end, I state my position on portraying the unknown as an enigma that is often marginalized through oversimplified aestheticization.
