Paramnésico is a solo exhibition by Desilence, presenting slowly unfolding moving-image works that explore paramnesia, a condition in which memory becomes unreliable and the boundary between lived experience and imagination begins to dissolve.
Paramnésico brings together a series of dream fragments that appear as images which never fully settle, remaining suspended between memory and oblivion. Each work unfolds in soft, continuous loops, where forms dissolve and recombine, moving between figurative and abstract registers and at times recalling pigments diffusing through water.
The project grows out of an experiment in which the artists recorded their dreams over several months and later used these written fragments as prompts, incorporating AI into their existing toolkit to translate them into motion and to work with its morphing, dreamlike movement.
Anna Leven writes: “Paramnesia is a cognitive anomaly in which memory becomes unreliable, and the distinction between lived experience and imagined events begins to dissolve.”
Desilence is a visual art studio founded in 2005 by Tatiana Halbach (Spain) and Søren Christensen (Denmark). Their practice operates at the intersection of digital art, installation and moving image, and is rooted in abstract digital painting that investigates how light, colour, motion and spatial composition shape perception and emotional experience. Over the past two decades, they have developed installations, immersive environments, live visual performances, stage scenography and audiovisual works for institutions, galleries and festivals worldwide.
