Andrea Ciulu is an Italian artist based in Rome. Andrea's work falls within the genre generally called "post-photography." Fascinated by how memories, dreams, and the imaginary intertwine and transform into an altered and distorted representation that our consciousness eventually considers real, Andrea uses AI as a kind of "artificial memory," which, just like ours, creates imperfect and hallucinatory memories of past moments of life. His work, both disconcerting and captivating, evokes memory, nostalgia, disorientation, and invites us to dive into memories altered and transmuted by time, where blurry and fragmented visions of the past reveal echoes of his country, his region, and glimpses of childhood. A place that no longer exists... His series "Seaborn" revolves around childhood by the sea, showing familiar scenes of daily life. On one side, light from the sky, open spaces, seashores, and on the other, degradation, erosion, linked to time, the sea, and salty winds. Nothing lasts, everything fades, transforms. Perspectives are altered, materials and shapes blend, just like in memories.
