Implied narrative II

CURATORIAL STATEMENT

Kevin Abosch’s Implied Narrative is a synthetic video project that explores artificial intelligence and human identity through the medium of gesture and morphology. Central to the work are the artist’s own hands, which serve as the structural framework, or “scaffold,” for AI-generated images and video sequences. These images become the basis for a generative process, creating a multilayered visual experience that suggests narrative without explicitly defining one. Abosch's use of AI blurs the boundaries between the personal and the abstract, allowing the hand’s gesture and physicality to become a form of data—an encoded symbol of human experience. The project interrogates how the morphology of the hand, as both a universal and deeply individual part of the body, implies a multiplicity of narratives, each tied to human existence, action, and memory. By transforming the hand, a metonymy for the artist, to an abstracted form that can proliferate endlessly through AI, Implied Narrative raises questions about authorship, the evolution of identity, and the way technology reshapes how we understand and represent ourselves in a digital era. In this, Abosch examines how meaning and identity can be constructed and deconstructed, using the body itself as a generative tool.
