"'Jaime' (1973) de António Reis"
| Resumo: | Photography and the cinematographer have dominated in the twentieth century two essential aspects of the artistic apparatuses referring to two orders of enunciation (in the Foucauldian sense, also two orders of discourse): the showing and the telling. The work we have chosen to illustrate this is the Portuguese medium length film (approx. 30') Jaime. António Reis (1927-1991) filmed Jaime, in 1973, inspired on the life and work of Jaime Fernandes (1900-1969), who was hospitalized for 31 years at the Hospital Miguel Bombarda with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. In the last four years, he painted and drew a singular work in accordance to Dubuffet's canon: "the laws which govern his art are equivalent to those of children or primitive peoples." For Jaime it is not a matter of representation but of production. "He was always working", witnesses one of his companions of the Psychiatric Hospital. |
