Two tangled bodies form and dissipate through shapeshifting faces and hyperreal flesh. What these faces obscure, or revisualize, is a real intimate encounter between the artist and her partner. Recorded only as numerical motion data, the original embodied moment is translated through animation and custom-built AI workflows, combining models trained on the artist’s face and appropriated from online deepfake pornography “communities.” The result is an ambivalent image that reveals everything and nothing at the same time, challenging predictive perception and the desire to see, blurring the boundaries of the embodied human, and reclaiming agency in an age of overexposure, automated voyeurism, and normalized surveillance.
