Go because you have nothing to lose and who knows what might happen. But I would say if you or someone you know is seriously physically or mentally ill, go to Abadiania if you can. And bled.Įither the Irish filmmaker had faked this - highly unlikely because the psychologist was a serious researcher and, in any case, he was in the middle of a crowd in broad daylight. He lifted up his t-shirt and hadn't a mark on him. When the bleeding started it looked like the psychologist had been shot in the heart. started spontaneously to bleed and the Irish guy caught it on camera. But the really remarkable thing was when a psychologist from one of the American Ivy League universities, in Abadiania to study healing. He'd been allowed to film the same stuff as Abramovic and her crew. On our first visit, an Irish filmmaker showed us a film he was making about JOG and healing. There's something going on in Abadiania that simply can't be explained. I believe that what JOG does, if it works, triggers his patients to heal themselves.īut then that's still only part of the story. This is why JOG allows himself to be filmed in such gory close-up.
As long as you get the angle right it's possible to push it down through the sinus cavity and into the throat. Sticking a metal rod up the nose is an old circus trick, apparently.
I think it was the Amazing Randi who attacked JOG for being a fraud who pointed out that there are no nerve endings on the surface of the eye so it is possible to scrape away without causing the person any pain. 'Contemporary art icon' Abramovic presented this as proof that there's no trickery in what JOG, as we ended up calling him, does. He's shown scraping a cornea, ramming a metal rod up someone's nose and jabbing into a woman's abdomen with the kind of knife you'd cut onions with, before sowing her up with what looks like fishing line. The film, described as 'a hardcore journey through spiritual Brazil' showed what John of God does as a psychic surgeon in unflinching detail, bringing back memories of just how bloody and raw things get in Abadiania. I thought The Space in Between: Marina Abramovic and Brazil, which starts at what we called the Casa, John of God's compound in Abadiania might give me some answers. I will always believe that whatever John of God did prolonged her life, gave her some sort of peace and helped prepare me for the awful grief that followed.īut I couldn't tell you how. I had been to see the healer and psychic surgeon John of God for the second time with my then partner. His films were shown in film festivals at Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Nederlands Fotomuseum (Amsterdam) and are part of the collection of numerous institutions such as: The Center for Contemporary Art (Israel), Hong Kong Arts Centre (China), Internationale Kurzfilmtage (Germany), Library of Museu de Arte Contemporânea da USP (Brazil), Midiateca Le Plateau (France).Twelve years ago I arrived back in Palma de Mallorca after a month in Abadiania, Brazil.
