The paper analyzes the notion of objectively offered object (OOO) which is a crucial part of Gherasim Luca’s Surrealist oeuvre. In the manifesto-like foreword to his early masterpiece, The Passive Vampire, Luca masterminds the game of constructing collage objects, which gain supranatural powers when offered to somebody. Becoming a fetish, the OOO could be interpreted in Hartmut Böhme’s terms as ambivalent and unapproachable thing, shifted between desire and anxiety. With this concept Luca proves the predominant role of the Surrealist object in the theories and textual praxis of the Romanian avant-garde.
