The Empire of Light
 HD 1080P, 7min10’



During the pandemic, I found that the simulation of the world has accelerated. Most of the time, my communication with the outside world was through the internet, revealing a new ecological relationship and a new aesthetic landscape shaped by the network.

Inspired by René Magritte's "L'Empire des lumières," I roamed Google Earth during the lockdown,  with my body confined to my room while my mind wandered into the wild.

The street view of daytime Paris is enveloped under the night sky, day and night the single paradox order was disrupted.

Through this work, I invite others to observe a universe similar to ours, a previously undiscovered reality that seeks to disturb the expectations of the spectator, making them question their perception of the real.

I try to establish a link between consciousness and the external world,  immersing into a new dimension that blurs the boundaries of online and offline, limited and infinite, unknowable and knowable, real and virtual,technology and poetry, explore this intricate interplay between reality and illusion, and delve into the profound mysteries of existence.
