Golden Glory
Generative Works. Video Installation, 2023
With this new serie “Golden Glory” and inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, these still-lifes invite us to contemplate the transience of life. Through the passage of time, colors fade, and each composition evolves into something new. They serve as a reminder that all beauty finds its expression in the ephemeral. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age, this series explores the delicate balance between the allure of vibrant flowers and the undeniable truth that all things must pass, conveying a double meaning of beauty and decay.
By combining the classical with the contemporary, these bouquets, slowly decomposed by algorithms, symbolise the perpetuity of code and data in the vast expanse of the digital realm. Just as the Dutch masters skill fully depicted the fleeting nature of life through their canvases, “Golden Glory” explores the notion that, in our era, algorithms and digital footprints persist indefinitely, but eventually will become ghosts of the past.
The collection invites viewers to contemplate the parallels between the images and memories we hold on to, and the transience inherent in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.
