About Albums and Microwaves: The Community of my Dreams

Abstract

The project shown is an exploratory approach to the documentary photographic record of certain people relevant to the author who are part of what she calls a "community" taking the poetic and literary definition given by the feminist Monique Wittig in her "Draft for a dictionary of lovers". The result is a compilation of images of these people who are friends/sisters/lovers in fantastic and dreamlike places, in which the author positions them by reinventing her way of seeing them and of having gone through different instances of community life with them. The mention of the microwave is presented as a way of citing instantaneous and non-auratic art, in relation to the means of image production and the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence technology.
