Current Value by Frank Manzano

Post Photographic Perspectives II: Acceptable Realities is Fellowship's second group show celebrating a new wave of innovation in AI video and photography. Current Value by Frank Manzano My work explores the obsession with violence in American entertainment. While most Americans are removed from actual violence, there is still a celebration of it that exists on both ends of the spectrum. Despite years of movie and TV violence, it fails to capture the true horror and chaos of violence, which loved ones are left crippled by. The AI-generated images I create challenge viewers by presenting them with uncomfortable realities they may have otherwise ignored. As desensitised Americans, we need to confront these difficult truths, even if they turn our stomachs."
