Fiction, aesthetic speech, Orson WellesAbstract
F for fake, a film that Orson Welles made in 1973, premiered in 1975 and which became known in Spanish as Fraude or Verdades y mentiras [Fraude or Truths and Lies], is presented as an audiovisual essay that shakes the fundamental principles of modern Western aesthetics. What is art? What is the artist? And the public? And the experts? What is the limit between fact and fiction? How important is authorship? And the original? Welles deals with these and other topics —counterfeiting, the market, beauty, artifice— in this mockumentary created almost exclusively in the editing room, enabling its interpretation from the analysis of its aesthetic discourse.References
