I have always been interested in AI and its recent developments. As a photographer who values the relationship between photography, reality, and time, I began to wonder what happens when these elements are no longer present, as is often the case with AI-generated images. What remains of photography when an image is no longer tied to a moment that actually existed?

To explore this, I turned to the work of one of my favourite photographers, the German photographer August Sander. Starting from selected photographs of his, I used them as points of reference and, through repeated transformations, allowed the images to gradually change while trying to remain close to the spirit of his work. Some faces or scenes may feel familiar; others move further away.

I leave it to the viewer to notice possible similarities with the original photographs. What interests me most is the nature of the images themselves: is this still photography as we know and cherish it, or is it something entirely different — images that seem to exist in a frozen time-space continuum, no longer bound to reality?
