Instead, it resembles an anonymous government office, like the DMV, where you take a number and wait to be processed. The image conveys this with no explicit signaling, just subtle visual cues weโve all been trained to decode by way of consciously engaging with the world around us. Take, for example, the rows of plastic chairs, which read as public space, not private. The sour overhead lighting, or the overall color palette, signals a place where ambience is not considered in the design or the experience of the person who occupies it. Then thereโs the blurred portrait on the wall, which behaves like a motivational poster or advertisement, presumably cosmetics-related, considering the claustrophobic cropping of the face. What really hooks me is the spotlight on the hands of the one silhouetted figure. There is no face, no expression, just hands caught in a cone of light, gripping their device. This is how images smuggle in narrative without a single word. The posture, the composition choices, and the overall lighting all tell us something about the world portrayed within the image. Thereโs something to be said for all the photographic images that make up train data, and how those images and everything thatโs implicit within them about how reality should be represented manifest in the images generated by Botto. The meaning of the world is baked in, albeit through a distorted lens, into what might otherwise appear on its surface to be purely fictional."
