Deep Vanitas, 2023, selection, 33 polaroids In this work, I combine two things that don’t belong together: the Polaroid and the AI-generated fake person. For a long time, Polaroids embodied authenticity and uniqueness, because each photo was one-of-a-kind and captured a real moment in all its imperfection. The scenes here, which resemble Baroque vanitas motifs, have never actually existed. And yet, the Polaroid as the medium lends it a sense of credibility and truth.
