AMYGDALA explores the thin line between fear and humour, using comedians as characters in scenes inspired by classic horror movies. In moments of dread, terror meets absurdity. Shot with 120mm Medium Format Film, the series plays with the brain's emotional wiring, rooted in the amygdala’s dual role in fear and laughter, blurring the boundaries between what makes us scream and what makes us laugh.
I’m the world’s first photographer to use Extended Reality (XR) as a new Fine Art medium. Blending XR with stills, video, AI-imagery, live projection, and natural landscapes, I add synthetic elements to the real world, in real time… shooting everything in-camera. As XR goes mainstream, digital overlays will reshape our senses. While my work embraces this emerging tech, it also questions how it might affect our culture. Inspired by real stories, classic movie SFX and Madeira’s dramatic landscapes, I fuse past, present, and future. I interpret the world by building my own.
