Broken Mirror
Broken Mirror is an artistic work that uses documentary language, in which I merged my vision of North Korea with that of an artificial intelligence, to which I explained in detail the result I wanted to obtain, repeating the operation hundreds of times for each image until I got an image similar to the one I had imagined.
Starting from scenes from the daily life of North Koreans, I inserted a foreign element, in the form of insects that grow ever larger and more intrusive, to the point that they seem to have control over people. At the end, people turn into insects, thus completing the domain they have undergone.
Broken Mirror is therefore the result of a compromise between me and AI, where the exceptionality of North Korean society, strongly influenced by one of the toughest totalitarian regimes in the world, which effectively isolates the country and its inhabitants, is represented through the insertion of an alien element, in a sort of Kafkaesque metamorphosis.
