Faith in Fakes
2022 · CGI still image
Faith in Fakes is less concerned with the artificial than with our willingness to believe in it. Drawing on the visual language of resort brochures and holiday advertising, the work constructs a paradise that is openly synthetic, yet remains seductive and strangely convincing.
As simulated environments become cleaner, safer, and more reliable than the places they imitate, the copy begins to replace the original as the object of desire. Faith in Fakes asks why the simulation has become so easy to trust, and what is lost when a believable image of paradise starts to feel like enough.
