Neighborhood 2 (Mirage Bureau)
Video, 2023
About the artwork
A group of people from the same remote and peculiar neighborhood share the same power: the ability to produce thunder. The plot thickens with the arrival of a new girl, who not only discovers her own role and power but also identifies the presence of ill-intentioned individuals infiltrating the group.
This series features a fictional universe developed alongside a story I started writing while creating images and editing videos. For me, it functions as a visual presentation of this universe, without the intention of directly telling the story itself.

Listen to Mirage Bureau discuss this work.
Mirage Bureau has been passionately immersed in producing art using artificial intelligence since October 2022, backed up by 20 years of experience as an art director, including 15 years exclusively in the editorial field. He consistently explores extremes and their various thresholds, finding the poetics of their work in the passage through these edges.
Abstract markers serve as pillars of their creations, traversing from the ethical limits of life in society to the limitations of human existence and the mysteries of death. The artist engages with prevailing collective pacts while seeking to reveal existential intimacy in their creative proposals. Reflections on the boundaries of time, language, desire, memory, and life are woven into their work.
