Adi Fluman’s ‘Carte Amour’ is a digital reproduction of an image the artist found online. As the image was priorly deleted by it’s owner, it was without any information or details and in very low resolution. To reproduce this image, Adi Fluman had to start from scratch and paint the figures while imagining them herself, thus creating other layers of the image ‘biography’.
Adi Fluman explores the boundaries between representation and reality. At first glance, her works appear to be three- dimensional, but in fact they are flat prints created through the manual and Sisyphean digital ‘‘weaving’’ of tens of thousands of points that the artist connects to one another through 3D modeling computer software. This meticulous method she uses to create her ‘‘digital tromp l’oeil,’’ triggers the curiosity of the viewer, who often indulges in lengthy viewing sessions. In sheer contrast with the fast pace usually devoted to today’s consumption of images, especially digital images, Fluman’s work creates moments of disorienting contemplation. The works presented in the exhibition deal with the power of material objects and their capability to convey what appears to be immaterial.
