A ppr oc he 2024
Antoine de Winter / Followers 7 - 10 Nov 2024Hangar Gallery participated in the 8th Edition of Approche with the artist Antoine De Winter. Antoine De Winter's practice questions the production of photographic images through experimentation with the medium, the materials used and their layout in space. In his latest project, Followers (2024), Antoine De Winter explores self-representation in the age of social networks and artificial intelligence, using traditional photographic techniques. After collecting stolen portraits from fake Instagram user profiles, Antoine then compiled them via AI software to recreate a synthetic image, close to the original yet so distant. Transposed in cyanotype on fabric and modeled in relief with beeswax, these faces acquire a disquieting presence whose blue echoes the blue light of screens. Other faces are revealed on gold-leafed glass plates, acting as icons of our contemporary narcissism. With Followers, Antoine De Winter creates images that evoke the ambiguous feeling of watching while being watched. He invites us to reflect on the duality between our desire for digital immortality and our fear of dematerializing our identity. a ppr oc he - 8th editionRead more
