Simulacra

2025–ongoing
Photography, generative image models, web
Regensis, Flora Residency and Group Show, Brooklyn, 2025

A public website of landscape and aerial photographs. Selecting one expands it into a network of AI-generated copies and reimaginings, from near-perfect recreations to far more vivid versions.

The work explores how image models make representations of reality without ever having had an experience of it.
