Jon Gesalaga's 'APORIA': AI Art at the Intersection of Photography and Digital Reconstruction

Jon Gesalaga's practice, as featured in creAtIva AI Art Book Vol/9, explores the intersection of photography, AI-assisted generation, and digital reconstruction. His work investigates fractures in reality, unstable matter, and porous identity. Gesalaga creates high-density syntographies where suspended objects, veiled bodies, organic remains, and clinical-ritual atmospheres coexist. His images hover on the brink of disappearance, revelation, or collapse, denying quick resolution. The artist draws comparisons to Francesca Woodman's treatment of the body as unstable presence and David Lynch's 'Eraserhead' for its precisely measured psychic pressure. Gesalaga uses AI not merely as a workflow tool but as a means to intensify questions about unreliable reality, representation of the unfixable, and the limits of image when it refuses to close meaning. His work is included in Vol/9 alongside voice narrative and augmented reality video.
