BODIES OF WORK is a series of twelve videos that unfolds as a theatre of spectacle where the body, modeled at the threshold of excess, is situated within landscapes that oscillate between the sublime and the surreal. These figures appear with monumental presence yet are destabilized by terrains, animals, and atmospheres that resist resolution. The visual register holds contradiction at its core, projecting both force and fragility, while irony emerges through monologues of sterile banality. Speech flattens into trivial fragments, but in their pairing with images of overwhelming intensity, the words generate a paradox where spectacle is amplified and simultaneously undone.
Artificial intelligence plays a decisive role in intensifying this dissonance. As a generative system, AI operates without attachment to semantic intention, producing images and voices that suspend meaning rather than reinforce it. This neutrality grants Tibert a field in which spectacle and language collide without hierarchy, allowing the credibility of artistic intent to emerge precisely from the absence of semantic alignment. What results is not a narrative but a condition of perceptual tension, where the visual and the verbal fail to coincide yet remain inseparably entangled.
The series is realized through a multi-layered methodology that integrates Midjourney, Magnific, Krea, Gemini, Google VEO3, and OpenAI Sora, with voice synthesis from ElevenLabs and original sound composition by Tibert. Each tool functions not as a passive instrument but as an active layer in the construction of this critical fiction, extending the spectacle of the body into a mediated terrain where irony, excess, and language continually fracture and recombine.
BODIES OF WORK emerges as a study in unresolved tension, where the body becomes spectacle, the landscape becomes stage, and the neutrality of AI transforms trivial words into vectors of instability.
