La Croyance est synthétique, 2025

Film, color, 26 minutes

​

Work conceived as a pair with the sound piece La Prophétie est une mémoire.

​

Presented in parallel with the sound piece La Prophétie est une mémoire, this video explores the creation of a myth through artificial intelligence.

Archival and library images merge with AI-generated visions, evoking the migration of all knowledge toward a digital consciousness.

Synthetic figures consume plastic in the manner of an infinite mukbang*: they ingest endlessly, without ever experiencing satiety.

This feast reflects the condition of the contemporary world - saturated, insensitive continuing the ingestion of plastic as a form of communion that has become unconscious.

Here, Mona Young-eun Kim departs from the conventional practice of integrated sound in video, asserting the autonomy of each medium image and sound, vision and prophecy.

​

* An online phenomenon based on the excessive and repetitive consumption of food, watched by viewers.
