Building upon the foundation laid by my previous work "Rever Mecanique," in this piece I've chosen to implement VHS videos in a more explicit manner. Here, AI-generated video overlays traditional footage, blending seamlessly thanks to analog and vintage tools. This fusion creates a fresh visual language, harmonizing techniques from different eras within the confines of the screen.

My aim was to capture the interplay between thought processes, memories, and the present moment. I drew an analogy between VHS, which records reality as it is, akin to memories, and AI-generated video, crafting an artificial representation that emphasizes the distinction between objective and subjective reality shaped by our beliefs.

Additionally, I've introduced digital glitches in the eight frames, symbolizing fragmented and imperfect thoughts, enriching the thematic exploration.
