Valentin Vollmer: Digital Truth, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Digital Truth is a photographic experiment and visual essay that explores how digital media transform not only what we see - but what we believe.

The project begins with a simple gesture: a digital image is photographed as it appears on a screen. That photo is displayed on a new screen and photographed again. The process is repeated 150 times - no filters, no edits, just camera and screen, screen and camera. With each iteration, the image changes. It blurs, fragments, mutates. What begins as a representation dissolves into abstraction.

But this is not just about image decay. It is about how repetition - especially in the digital age - replaces reflection. About how truth becomes fragile when filtered through algorithms, optimized for engagement, and stripped of ambiguity.

Structured in seven thematic chapters, Digital Truth moves from intimacy and memory to media logic, algorithmic influence, and human presence in a world shaped by machines. Texts and images intertwine - sometimes in dialogue, sometimes in tension. Together, they form a slow, quiet meditation on loss, distortion, and the possibility of meaning in an overmediated world.

This book doesn¿t offer answers. It poses a question - in silence, in stillness: What happens to meaning when everything is visible, but nothing is fully seen?
