Doubling Down

Sutton Gallery
Saturday 8 November – Saturday 6 December

In Ursula LeGuin’s novel The Lathe of Heaven (1971), the protagonist George Orr has dreams which have the power to change the past, and subsequently the present and the future. This ability to change reality causes havoc, as each night George sleeps everything in the world changes. These are changes which only he will remember in the morning. Science and speculative fiction have always played with our understanding of history, but generative image making (AI) makes it possible to play with our memory and indirectly the past. Its predilection for the photorealistic based upon the vast datasets of photographs it mines, means that there is an uncanny familiarity to the images it generates, despite the photographer and the subject never being present.

I imagine I am not alone in remembering through photographs. I also imagine I am not alone in mis-remembering or blurring events and moments because of the way narrative is captured in a photograph; the conventions of narrative prescribing and constructing my memory. After a time, these memories become stories, and the photograph evokes the story I associate with the image. It no longer recalls the memory. Subsequently, the story is signified visually by the photograph.

Doubling Down sits in this conceptual space, playing with both history and personal memory. It depicts improbable chance meetings and combines them with personal diary accounts and family stories, charting an alternative path through the Twentieth and early Twenty First Centuries using my and my family’s past towards an alternate present. In this respect it is science fiction.

And just as fiction is littered with facts, and stories are littered with memories, generative image making mines existing photographs (datasets) to conjure its image. It hallucinates a past reinventing my present.
