my beloved new face

Addressing issues such as faciality or family construction, my beloved new face explores the relationship between body and home, person and mask, mask and language. The family nucleus is invaded and presented as a destabilizing and destabilized border territory. With references to Reza Negarestani and his idea of oil as a demonic entity, as well as the Deleuzian abstract machine, my beloved new face examines the territorial condition of identity and the performativity of intelligence. In this project, artificial intelligence has been partially used throughout the entire production process, including text, sound, and 3D modeling, as well as digital fragments manually created from image files retrieved from the internet. The house in the video was modeled based on images of the destruction in Nait Hanun (North Gaza) on April 17, 2024.
