Surrealism

Unik published his first Surrealist text in the sixth issue of La Révolution surréaliste. He participated in ten of the twelve known surrealist sex investigations, and claimed to have lost his virginity in a brothel, between the ages of fifteen and sixteen.

Disappearance

Unik was captured in a prisoner of war camp in Silesia in 1940. Escaping in 1945, he never made it back to France, disappearing in Slovakia.
