Gaze, Real, Virtual, Hyperreal, ImageAbstract
This study is an exploration of the new realisms. The point of departure is the experience of the gaze, taken as a category of interpretation, as well as some thoughts regarding the value of the (hyper)real, inspired by Slavoj Zizek and Baudrillard. Our question regarding how to look and at what real, was aroused by João Jardim´s e Walter Carvalho´s movie Janela da Alma (2001), Claude Nuridsany´s and Marie Pérennou´s Microcosmos (1996), and Larry and Andy Wachowski´s Matrix (1999). The question is directed to the gaze of poets such as Manuel Bandeira and Manuel de Barros, and the Slovenian - blind (?)- photographer Evgen Bavcar.References
