PORTRAITS OF AN UNVERIFIED SELF

Portraits of an Unverified Self operates in the unstable interval between identity, play, and technology. The vertical film/installation proposes a succession of figures that do not fix a subject, but rehearse multiple possibilities of presence, recognition, and failure. From the author's own image, mutant figures emerge—visual heteronyms—that oscillate between recognition and estrangement, maintaining a fragile connection to the original body. The self fragments, dissolves, and reappears as a flow and process in permanent instability. By appropriating the ecosystem of smartphones and mobile applications, the work shifts the logic of digital self-exposure to a territory of poetic and speculative deviation. Artificial intelligence emerges as an agent of mutation and not of synthesis, producing images that resist verification and identity coherence. AI functions here as a device of deviation: a playful, ironic, and sometimes disturbing mirror, closer to delirium than to optimization.
