MEMORY SEED

Video Installation and Still Image Series, 2024

“There are photos missing from my childhood album. They haven't been lost or misplaced, they’re not there because they were never taken.”

Memory Seed reimagines a childhood never fully documented, reconstructing memories through emotional resonance rather than archival evidence.

Anchored in a single childhood photograph of the artist's sister, the work blends personal memory with machine-generated visual storytelling, using artificial intelligence as both a creative collaborator and a conceptual tool.

In her practice, Liron Kroll creates images from imagination by transforming fragments of her own photographs into digitally reconstructed realities.In Memory Seed, she combines AI-generated elements, photomontage, and hand-painted digital interventions to construct scenes that hover between recollection and invention, where absence becomes as significant as what is remembered.

Memory Seed challenges the boundaries between realism and artifice, questioning what makes a photograph feel authentic. The work embraces ambiguity and the uncanny, inviting viewers into a liminal domestic space where memory is continuously reconstructed through emotion, imagination, and technology.

By exploring the intersection of AI and intimate personal history, the work reflects on authorship, identity, and the evolving role of images in shaping memory. It proposes AI not as a tool for replacing reality, but as a means of navigating loss, reconstructing untold histories, and expanding the possibilities of photographic practice.

Memory Seed has been exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Saatchi Gallery, and the Los Angeles Center of Photography.

The work can be presented as a complete video installation, as a moving-image work, or as a standalone series of still images.
