"I have always been drawn to history — not merely as a sequence of events, but as a profound residue of architecture, memory, and silence. The Void Fraction began as an attempt to document these elusive traces, transforming absence itself into a tangible form.

Here, PHOTOGRAPHY emerges as an act of resistance: a deliberate effort to remember what has been digitally erased, to preserve what algorithms relentlessly try to simulate, and to reclaim the narratives that silence once claimed."

Black-and-white image of burned vehicles in a devastated landscape, overlaid with the word ‘VOID FRACTION’ in pink and black — a visual reflection on destruction and digital noise.

This project's core objective is to forge a critical connection between my photographs of Nazi ruins and the pervasive flood of AI-generated false images that threaten to distort the very legacy of documentary photography as a source of truth. Just as Nazi architecture once functioned as tangible propaganda, artificial intelligence now constructs an invisible, yet equally potent, architecture that profoundly shapes collective memory and perception. Within these evocative ruins, photography transcends its traditional role, becoming both a powerful metaphor and a precise method to decode the hidden codes of contemporary digital manipulation.

Documentary photography as resistance: a critical method, situated between the echoes of Nazi ruins and the pervasive flood of AI-generated false images, to decode the invisible architectures that profoundly shape our collective memory.

Launching January 2026. Stay tuned.
