Another Lens

Photography has been a fluid and evolving practice since its invention in the 1820s, continuously reshaped by technological advancements and cultural shifts. As we move further into the digital age, the idea of the "lens" is no longer confined to capturing light through a piece of glass. Lenses and cameras have become exponentially more sophisticated over the past decades, embedded with, interpreting, and even created from complex algorithms. These advancements have enabled me to uncover unseen worlds, capture the light of virtual suns, synthesize vast datasets into new synthetic imagery, and transform others into dimensional immersive worlds. The algorithmic lens applied to my archive allows me to reinterpret and reimagine decades of imagery, creating new photographic works that blend historical practice with contemporary capabilities. Inherent in this is a challenge to conventional definitions of photography, transforming it from the act of capturing a moment into an ongoing process of exploration and creation. What emerges from all these efforts is a hybrid reality where what is and was converges with what is not (or cannot be), but also what could be in some future world—a multiversal viewfinder looking through another lens.
