Sabina Podjed's Glitch Portal Surrealism Explores Perception Through Digital Rupture

Sabina Podjed's series 'Glitch Portal Surrealism' is a visual investigation into contemporary perception, positioned at the intersection of human imagination and machine. The work uses circular, oval, and rhomboid forms as thresholds, turning landscapes into unstable, liminal spaces. Glitch effects function as boundaries between perception systems, nature and digital image, memory and simulation. Podjed avoids technical virtuosity, focusing instead on atmosphere: a measured kaleidoscopic explosion of clean blues, vegetal greens, solar golds, and prismatic iridescences mixed with spectral noise and compression artifacts. The series evokes comparisons to James Turrell's light-and-space works and Tarsem Singh's film 'The Fall', though Podjed's approach is more synthetic. The images do not describe landscapes but turn them into questions about what remains inaccessible until something breaks. The work is featured in creAtIva AI Art Book Vol/9 'ART: it is argument', alongside narrative voice and augmented reality video. The text was reviewed using AI tools.
