“AiNa” comes to life as an IRL simulation of the artist’s post-photographic Ai body of work “Performing anatomies”. Phialas’ work & improvisations with the performers are based on images & videos of a custom AI model she has trained.While the majority of creations within this collection take the form of still images which are not yet released, the inception of AiNa marks the artist’s initial venture into creating an IRL simulation in the genre of performance/installation based on this Ai model.I think of the still image works as “microcosmic performances" extracted from the fabric of daily existence. Each image encapsulates mundane moments and familiar scenarios, seamlessly weaving together domestic interiors and outdoor settings. While universally relatable, these depictions are elevated by a nuanced interplay of wit and irony, infusing them with a distinctive flavor. The resulting amalgam is an assortment of absurd, illogical, and whimsically surreal episodes plucked from the canvas of ordinary life.
