Synthetic Memories
Non-real images of real reminiscences of my childhood in Reunion Island. Some are good memories and some are not so happy ones. But the places are really close to the ones in my head.
This project is an intimate and profound exploration of my childhood memories, transcribed through the prism of artificial intelligence.
Each image, generated via Midjourney, is an attempt to capture the essence of defining moments, marked by solitude, discovery, pain and family ties.

Running in the Western Savannah: Me, as a child, running freely in the savannah, capturing the spirit of escape and the stark contrast between freedom and isolation.

Chemin de l'École en Solitude: Images evoking my solitary journeys to school at Le Bernica in the heights of Saint Paul, where childlike solitude and the natural beauty of Reunion Island are intertwined.

Le Vieux et le Sac de Jute (The Old Man and the Jute Bag): A poignant depiction of a moment marked by violence - a drunken man beating a jute bag with a cat inside against a skip, revealing the brutal confrontation with cruelty.

With My Father in Front of the Niagara Falls: A rare, peaceful image with my father, both contemplative in front of the Niagara Falls in Sainte Suzanne, symbolising fleeting moments of connection.

Each image is a window into my past, a mixture of reality and artistic reinterpretation, where the unreal of AI meets and complements my memories.

This project is a journey through time and emotion, inviting the viewer to explore the complex nuances of childhood and memory.
