re_photo

With the digitalisation of photography, the manipulation of the photograph became way more versatile and accesible. If, until that point, photography was the ultimate document of truth, the only and the most powerful means of confirming that something has been, after that, all these ideas were put into question. Nowadays, photography’s vericity is fragile.

re_photo is an experimental and conceptual project that questions digital photography as an objective means of representation.

The works are studying ephemeral photographs – the ones that are displayed on a monitor, not created using pigment, but with pixels. Some of the works allow you to identify the original photograph, while others deconstruct it and create whole new unidentifiable abstractions.

Is this a reality that we see? Is it pixels? A confirmation of what has been or a new, fictional reality?

re_photo_1 2022

The concept behind experiment #1 is re-photographing the same digital image on a monitor until it becomes unintelligible, as well as discovering the formal qualities of such imagery. The experiment concluded in a total of 20 exposures.

re_flow 2023

re_flow continues to explore the artistic properties of the pixel and the ephemeral image that is displayed by it, while also being a tribute to the fluidity that was characteristic of early CRT technology art and video art.

re_flow 2023 (source material, 10 digital exposures)

re_video 2024

The last entry of the re_photo project. It is the recording of the same video 13 times over and over while it, gradually, optically degrades.
This is a presentation of the process and the final video.
