António Aleixo – Loulé RA

António Aleixo's Travels in Augmented Reality

António Aleixo is one of the greatest Portuguese poets. But in addition he is perhaps the only poet where his talent has innate characteristics. António Aleixo creates poetry, without ever learning, without reading, without being taught to produce it. It has no references other than who surrounds it in the different lands it has traveled. He will never have read Pablo Neruda or T. S. Eliott to be inspired or will have had teachers to explain to him how to spell correctly or how the poems should be broken. It was Loulé who considered his home this land proud of him, living or surviving there in very hard times for all Portuguese workers and particularly those who lived in rural areas. But from all of this there remains a greater question: "How far could Antonio Aleixo's poetry come if it had had other conditions?"

This augmented reality project will take us to Loulé from the beginning of the 20th century and present us with António Aleixo, his friends and his courts. A true journey through the universe of the unlikely and the proof that talent does not depend on education, social class, age or region
