Digital Fur, 2024. Multi channel UHD projection, 10:30min, 2019 (In Progress)

Our constant exposure to manipulated imagery has warped our collective perception, distancing us from an unmediated view of reality. Digital Fur is an experimental film that investigates the friction between digital fabrication and the photographic image. Presented as a multi-channel UHD projection, the work synthesizes live-action and CGI to explore a new "lineage of artifice."

Through a series of cinematic vignettes, the project juxtaposes hyper-real textures with immersive musical soundscapes to challenge the viewer’s grip on the "real." The work traces the evolution of visual deception from the practical "enhancements" of early photography to the seamless complexities of modern CGI, revealing how profoundly our ability to distinguish the genuine from the fabricated has been altered.

Drawing parallels between contemporary digital tools and historical precursors of blurred reality,such as trompe l'oeil illusionism and the cinematic "magic" of Georges Méliès, Digital Fur unravels the complex interplay of 21st-century sight. Each vignette serves as a self-contained inquiry into visual deception, capturing the allure of mediated realities while inviting the viewer to question the nature of authenticity in an increasingly artificial visual world.
