Their starting point is Europe's winter masquerades – archaic festivals in which wild costumes and ritual choreographies represent the struggle between winter and spring, order and chaos. Bonet, who grew up in the 1980s and was shaped by cultural ruptures between the analog and digital worlds, transforms these traditions into a visual language that reflects current societal anxieties: the climate crisis, migration, pandemics, questions of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter initial experience in advertising and fashion photography, Bonet found a new artistic freedom through working with generative AI. Inspired by John Heartfield's photomontages, he uses the technology like a camera—not to imitate existing styles, but to visualize the unimaginable. His frontally staged figures appear both familiar and strange: mythical archetypes that stare directly at us yet originate from a nonexistent reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series is a commentary on the power of myths in the digital age. Just as ancient tales drew on collective memory, AI also draws on immense image archives and forms new narratives from them. Bonet deliberately seeks out those moments in which the machine \"loses its stride\"—when algorithmic logic tips into poetic strangeness and produces unexpected images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach motif is created in a complex process spanning several thousand image generations. The results are hybrid visual worlds that appear documentary while simultaneously celebrating the imaginary. Bonet's \u003cem\u003eMasquerades\u003c\/em\u003e invite us to reexamine timeless questions: Who are we in the mirror of our fears? What masks do we wear today?

The figure evokes archaic European winter customs in which bodies were disfigured with straw, fur, or masks to summon nature spirits or ward off evil. Here, Bonet replaces the traditional materials with cables—symbols of our digital present, signs of networking, surveillance, and the flood of data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The figure is both protected and imprisoned: the cables provide both armor and a prison. They evoke the paradox of modern technology, which simultaneously connects and isolates us. The pose—frontal, calm, anonymous—invites us to reflect on the loss of individual identity in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bonet's AI-based approach reinforces this ambivalence. By using AI as a \"synthetic camera,\" he creates images that appear like documents, even though they depict events that never happened. This tension between credibility and fiction is the appeal of \u003cem\u003eWired\u003c\/em\u003e : a modern mythogram that ritualizes our dependence on technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AI EDITION BERLIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55657618178383,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2826\/3759\/files\/wired.jpg?v=1753992469"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2826\/3759\/collections\/portfolio_EN_BD-42-gigapixel-art-scale-2_00x_020a6018-b665-4fd1-a92e-55d3dfcca691.jpg?v=1753994575","url":"https:\/\/ai-edition-berlin.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/print-julien-bonet-new-folk-lore.oembed?page=2","provider":"AI - EDITION BERLIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
