In this series, called Inside Photography, I explore the world of famous photographers by reconstructing their environments.
Everything in this project is imagined, but it's based on solid documentary research.
Using AI tools, I recreate the world of these photographers, reimagining moments of them taking portraits and engaging with the world through their lens.
The first episode of these AI documentaries is dedicated to Diane Arbus, an iconic photographer known for her intimate, often disturbing portraits of marginalized individuals, freaks, and everyday people.
I’ll be using AI to generate new documentaries that reimagine other photographers' environments.
Photography and video capture the world, but our understanding of the past is shaped by our own perception.
Our memories, for example, are never perfectly accurate reflections of what happened; they are interpretations.
So, why not reconstruct a world no one has ever seen, based on the elements and evidence that remain?
This series asks: What if we could piece together history using all the documents and materials we have?
🛑 Important note:
This episode was recently removed from another platform following a copyright takedown request regarding the use of a single photograph by Diane Arbus, despite the project’s clearly transformative, educational and artistic intent.
The work is based on research, falls under fair use (or equivalent doctrines), and does not aim to exploit or replace the original materials, but rather to celebrate and re-contextualize them.
We believe in the importance of open dialogue about how AI and art interact with the legacy of the past — and how creative reinterpretation can bring new life to cultural history.
This is not about controversy — it’s about conversation.
Thank you for watching and thinking critically with us.
