Polimoda's 'lost__@land' Explores Memory vs. Artificial Reality
Polimoda presents 'lost__@land', a photographic series that contrasts human memory with artificial reality. The series features a sailor figure navigating a world of screens and imitations, using props like plastic fabric, a paper boat, and a fan to construct an artificial sea. The work argues that while AI can recreate scenes, it cannot replicate sensory experiences such as salt on the lips or wind through hair. Memory is portrayed as an untouchable, bodily force that persists despite digital perfection. The sailor embodies the tension between real and fake, longing for authentic experience. The series includes multiple images hosted on C41 Magazine's website, with titles like 'VICTORIA1195-5', 'sailor-photoshop', and 'VICTORIA0981-1'. The project reflects on how staged gestures and filtered images stand in for lived memory, which remains messy and irreplaceable.
