SYNOPSIS

[EN] Sometimes I wonder how far I have traveled in the universe… More than a hundred years have passed since the Impressionist movement. Today, we still long for a new way of seeing and understanding the world: using smartphones, computers, newly invented cameras, and virtual reality. In a future dominated by technological images, how will human culture be rewritten? Will history be reset? Is the land beneath my feet still habitable? Is the sky the same sky? I was curious about how artificial intelligence identified the images I took of the world. How does artificial intelligence understand abstraction or images beyond images? Here a cow is seen as a horse, there a boat is seen as a vase. Realities and hyperrealities are woven together as if this is the prototype of the myth of modern life. I want to depart from programmed worlds and return to nature, although what I can capture is the momentary refraction of light. This refraction makes me believe that nature still exists. Do I live in nature or does nature dream of me? It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I would like to be a mysterious traveler sailing between perfect and imperfect tenses.
