In the Orbit of Solaris – A gaussian splat reconstruction of a scene from Tarkovsky’s masterpiece
The way images emerge, take shape, and impose themselves upon us is something that deeply fascinates me. I never truly know what I am looking for, but when, within the endless flow of generated images, one suddenly seizes me, I recognize that I have found something new. It is a strange experience, as if I had not created the image myself, but merely revealed it—bringing it into presence within our temporality.
For several years, I have been developing a research practice around memory, the city, and the digital image. Working with point clouds and latent spaces, I compose forms that are neither entirely realistic nor purely imaginary.
What interests me is the possibility of making visible what usually acts in secret—those layers of images and memories that structure our perception of the world just as invisible matter structures the universe. Here, reality appears as a field of interference, a superposition of traces and potentialities.
My work moves between cinema, painting, and artificial intelligence. Point clouds generated through 3D scans allow me to capture a place like a fragile constellation, a luminous memory of my passage. Latent space, on the other hand, offers an infinite reservoir of potential images, a diffuse memory awaiting realization. I search for resonance between these two dimensions: the lived trace and the projected future, memory and dream.
I draw inspiration as much from the cinematic avant-garde as from painters of color and light. The fragments I compose unfold, I believe, like waking dreams, oscillating between figuration and abstraction. The image is not delivered as a certainty, but as an enigma—something to be deciphered.
