Paris Photo 2024
Jonas Lund and Ana Maria Caballero
As part of the at the Digital Sector at Paris Photo 2024, we show works by the artists Jonas Lund and Ana Maria Caballero.
Both deal with the question of documentation, translation and its interpretation through generated images and explore the possibilities of advanced images based on AI from very different approaches. The use of the interplay of text and image create transdisciplinary works that express a meaning beyond its systems of meaning.

Aluminium, Laser cut
31 x 46 cm

This series presents morphed human figures caught in surreal, abstracted scenarios. The stilled scenes, accompanied by subtitles hinting at larger narratives, depict speculative glimpses into a world transformed.Lund freezes singular moments that seem to encapsulate entire movies – capturing the cusp of massive technological and societal changes on the horizon. Characters confront their entanglement with technology and culture, from obsessive media consumption to the merging of human and machine intelligences.The distorted yet familiar figures raise questions about identity, agency, and what it means to be human in an era of accelerating technological disruption. Lund’s condensed vignettes open windows onto hypothetical AI-infused futures, allowing us to imagine the uncanny experiences that may soon become our reality.

Jonas Lund (b. 1984) is a Swedish artist that creates works that critically reflects on contemporary networked systems and technological innovations.
Lund creates paintings, sculptures, photography, websites and performances that critically reflect contemporary networked systems and power structures of control. His artistic practice involves creating systems and setting up parameters that oftentimes require engagement from the viewer. This results in performative artworks where tasks are executed according to algorithms or a set of rules. Through his works, Lund investigates the latest issues generated by the increasing digitalisation of contemporary society like authorship, participation and distribution of agency. At the same time, he questions the mechanisms of the art world; he challenges the production process, authoritative power and art market practices.
Ana Maria Caballero – Being Borges
Being Borges is a transdisciplinary series by Ana María Caballero, presented in partnership with Verse and OFFICE IMPART. It proposes a new form of literary translation, begging the question: What’s at stake when language becomes literal via the visual?
In this ongoing series of imaginary beings, Ana María Caballero takes Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero’s The Book of Imaginary Beings (a vast compendium of humanity’s imagined creatures) and its 1970 English translation by Norman Thomas di Giovanni as points of departure from which to explore how AI interprets Spanish versus English text, unmasking biases ingrained in large data sets.

Ana María Caballero is a first-generation Colombian-American poet and artist. Her work explores how biology delimits societal and cultural rites, ripping the veil off romanticized motherhood and questioning notions that package sacrifice as a virtue. She is the recipient of the Beverly International Prize, Colombia’s José Manuel Arango National Poetry Prize, the Steel Toe Books Poetry Prize, a Future Arts Writers Award, a Sevens Foundation Grant and has been a finalist for eight additional literary prizes.
Her Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net-nominated work has been widely published and exhibited internationally, recently at bitforms in New York, Gazelli Art House and UNIT in London, Nighttimestory and Epoch Gallery in Los Angeles and L’Avant Galerie Vossen in Paris. She became the first artist to sell a digital poem at live auction in Spain, and her verse is held in both public and private collections worldwide.
Recognized as a Web3 poetry pioneer, her work has been covered by major media outlets, such as ARTnews, LAWeekly, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Elle UK and ABC España. Her digital poems have been released by both TimePieces and Playboy. She’s been a speaker at events organized by the University of the Arts London, Sovereign Nature Institute, Untitled Art Fair, JustMAD, AWP, and the International Women of Blockchain Conference.
She’s the author of five books and has a sixth volume forthcoming in 2024. As co-founder and curator at digital poetry gallery theVERSEverse, she’s transforming the way poetry is experienced, exhibited and transacted.
