I recently graduated summa cum laude with an experimental short film, which was exhibited in a video installation. All footage in this film was generated with AI.

‘Purgatory’ is an experimental and abstract AI generated short film with a symbolic representation of purgatory, reinterpreted as my personal experience with mental health.
With this I depict my experience of having to go through suffering before I could find my way to healing.

 

The computer has always been my escape, my safe place. A place to disappear into the digital world. That’s why I decided to collaborate with AI for this project.
The outcome of AI is something which you can never have total control over, and often has an alienating effect; similar to that certain period of my life.

 

​

 The installation consists of a large projection of my film on a wall in a dark space, with the soundtrack by Max Abysmal playing loud. By doing this I aim to immerse the viewer into the feelings I experienced when I was dealing with mental health issues, hoping to convey that which I can’t put into words.
