Experiencing Interruptions?

The Narrative (First Movement)

This song is "so disturbing but beautiful in each moment (...)! It demanded a bold and unnerving visual and it got it!"

This is “The Narrative (First Movement)”, a video I created to the instrumental music of Berlin musician Mary Ocher.

In the video, the piano is a wounded nervous system, keys fire like misaligned synapses, spasm under pressure. Emotion arrives late, distorted, already exhausted.
Like German Expressionism, this work turns inward: not to describe the world, but to expose what it does to the human mind.

From 1989 to 2022, photography was the basis of my artistic work. Since 2022, this focus has been on promptography (AI-generated images).
I am not trying to copy my previously developed visual language, but to explore new avenues that were not possible for me as a photographic artist. With the help of AI, I can draw freely on my imagination and incorporate my experience as an artist into the prompt. AI image generators are the tool I have been waiting for without knowing it.
For me, the diffusion models have replaced the camera - but my artistic focus on the collective unconscious and my psychological approach have remained. Since the training material of the AIs is a mirror of humanity, I can now work with the "collective unconscious" (C.G. Jung) to depict it.
