Dadaism refers to an avant-garde art movement that was initiated by artists taking refuge in Zurich during World War I. This movement aimed to challenge and destroy established values and beliefs, which the artists believed had contributed to the war. Dada artists embraced experimentation and merged various mediums and techniques in their work, which are often satirical and nonsensical in nature. A particularly influential aspect of Dadaism is the concept of “readymade” art, in which everyday objects are represented as art pieces, removing them from their mundane context and questioning the concept of an “artwork”.
