Revue Diapo 002 - Alexandra Mocanu

Anachronistic and independent publication for emerging photography. The second issue focuses on a series by Alexandra Mocanu, a multi-disciplinary Romanian artist based in Paris, which began during a residency in Himeji (Japan) during Covid19. There, she began an architectural photographic index, applying a systematic approach to capture the visual redundancies of contemporary Japanese architecture, from which the human element is completely absent. From these images, she built a work on Artificial Intelligence, using generative techniques to continue this index with an invented architecture, imaginary yet credible. This series is accompanied by a feminist science-fiction short story by architect and author Léone Drapeaud, imagining in reaction to these disembodied architectures the transmission of knowledge and trauma through gestation.
