About
Using generative AI, I reconstruct ordinary scenes (conversations, solitary walks, houses, meals) as moments that never existed, yet feel strangely familiar. While Roland Barthes described photography as evidence of something that “has been,” AI-generated images complicate this idea: they resemble photographs without an original moment to document.
Rather than correcting AI’s strange lighting, imperfect figures, and ambiguous details, I leave them visible, creating scenes that feel recognizable yet incomplete. AI thus becomes more than a tool for reproducing reality, participating with the artist in constructing moments that never happened, yet somehow feel remembered.
