Twilights/Crepuscoli
Twilights/Crepuscoli explores photography not as a reliable record of reality, but as a form of visual construction. It is made by digitally combining vernacular photographs found in flea markets with contemporary images created specifically for the project. The resulting works look like photographs of real places and events, yet they have no actual connection to what they seem to depict. They exist as simulacra: images that imitate reality while being entirely constructed. This ambiguity invites viewers to question the trust they place in photography and to reflect on how easily images can shape our perception of what is real. Created before the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence, Crepuscoli anticipated a condition that has now become increasingly familiar: photographs are no longer seen only as evidence of reality, but also as images that can create convincing fictions. In this context, photography shifts from documenting the world to constructing versions of it.
