In his film The Girl Chewing Gum, John Smith overlaps images captured on a London street with a voice that seems to give instructions for what is happening. The movement of the street seems to be predetermined by the artist. He tells people to cross the road, cars to pass or birds to fly. This film is the opposite of fake stories and fake news: if the latter try to pass off fiction as reality, the film tries to pass off reality as fiction. mala voadora recreates Smith’s experience using images from 25 April 1974, as if the revolution were an artist’s staging. As well as revealing the facts that ensured the establishment of a democratic regime in Portugal, this show highlights the mechanisms of fictional construction and, in particular, the construction of manipulated realities. The overlapping of the voice of command on a reality that has already happened creates a situation that is also conducive to the de-banalisation of the images themselves. We want the images of 25 April 1974 to remain intense.
