Luz azul

Thalles

The screenlight reverberates in my eyes, absorbing every thought and every gesture. Through it, my mind flows and my gestures become mechanized.

I observe and I see myself being absorbed, as if hypnotized. My fingers link me to the digital world: this electrical contact with the screen unites me to this other universe, coded. Constantly, I cross various spaces-time, and my images - my image? - also passes through various states of materiality.

With my instruments, I can extend time, freeze its flow. My images then become a reflection of what exists, but an evanescent reflection, an abstraction of the real.

In the series Luz azul I sketch a dreamlike-digital universe made of surfaces, reflections and attractions. A world that I encounter every day. So I wanted to take the time to contemplate it. I want to make it palpable, tangible, so that you can touch it with your eyes.

Sometimes I have the feeling that all light emits pixels, and that these two spaces, in the end, are not so far away. And there is always this light that attracts me, so beautiful, dazzling... I wanted to experiment with it so that reality would become blurred and your escape would be activated.

The fragility of images is born from the dilation of time, movement, their imprints and the sublimation of their flaws. I explore the possibilities of digital technology and try to give it a poetic aesthetic inviting you to travel.

Lives and Works in
Thalles Piaget (*1996) is a human being - not an artificial intelligence - born in Brazil and living in Biel/Bienne - CH. Essentially vagabond, Thalles is inspired by readings, walks, and reflections. Capturing a moment that doesn’t truly exist, trying to transform the ordinary into a dreamlike experience. Its artistic approach is at the border of dreams, science, and absurdity. Wandering, guided by the moment, playing with its non-existence.“In my work, I aim to open a window to a dreamlike digital universe composed of surfaces, reflections, and light, free from its commercial intent yet infused with a poetic perspective on the machinery’s materials. In my photographs and installations, I want to explore and question the possibilities of our digital images and their inflationary use in our daily lives. While using the medium of photography, my aim is not to document specific scenes or compositions, but rather to seek what is between the subject and the camera and to capture the moments in between. Photography serves as a fundamental tool in my creative work, yet paradoxically, it is the medium with which I maintain the most critical relationship.”‍
