'Shadow Self - Portal to a Parallel World' at HUIS MARSEILLE Amsterdam questions the boundaries of image and reality through new media

The exhibition 'Shadow Self – Portal to a Parallel World' at Huis Marseille presents works by five contemporary artists who challenge the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds, utilizing new technologies such as generative AI. The artists—Shuang Li, Charmaine Poh, Heesoo Kwon, Xiaopeng Yuan, and Diane Severin Nguyen—explore the concept of the "shadow self" that exists in parallel worlds, acting as a gateway to human creativity.

The works in the exhibition address themes such as living virtually on the internet, reconstructing childhood, the intersection of past and present, and the creation of new dimensions through images. The artists offer personal insights into their own stories and lived experiences. For example, Shuang Li explores her virtual presence during the COVID-19 pandemic, while Charmaine Poh uses deepfake technology to create a fictionalized version of her 12-year-old self. Heesoo Kwon uses generative AI and childhood photographs to create a new reality that reflects her feminist and queer ideals.

The exhibition invites reflection on the nature of images and their transformative power, transporting viewers into a world that is both real and digital, present and past. Shadow Self encourages exploration of the personal and collective stories of the artists, while questioning the potential of images as portals to other worlds.
