He Found An Old Blue Ocean
Framed InkJet Prints, four-channel video (5 minutes, 27 seconds)
Genom en sammanflätning av egna fotografier av fossil med upphittat videomaterial från YouTube, skapar Conti ett narrativ som kretsar kring Orogenes, processen som formade Alperna.
Han utforskar hur relationen mellan bilder och begreppet sanning kan användas för att skapa bevis av fakta. Grundat i epistemologiska teorier, ifrågasätter han samtida problem rörande bildens dematerialisering i etern samt hur samhället litar på den kunskap dessa bilder förmedlar.
By intertwining his own photographs of fossils with found video footage from YouTube, Conti creates a narrative that revolves around the orogenesis process which formed the Alps.
He investigates the relationship amongst images, the notion of truth, and how they can be used to create evidence of facts. Grounded in epistemological theories, he questions the contemporary problems of image dematerialization in the ether and how societies trust the knowledge that these images convey.
