Portraits from the Memory Palace by Lilyillo
This show features 12 portraits of women that the artist has encountered in real life and through exploring AI. The artist describes finding these portraits in a mental space that’s like a personal memory vault.
Working with AI feels like experiencing déjà vu—a sense that the present moment is somehow connected to a past memory. It’s as if new experiences are mixed with old memories.
The artist uses the idea of a "memory palace," a technique where people imagine a familiar place to help remember things. They see the AI's data space as a similar kind of place where memories and information are stored.
In this show, the artist explores this mental space to discover and create portraits that blend past memories with new insights.

The Darkness in Nostalgia
There is an underlying darkness in nostalgia. It draws us into a pain-laced reminiscence where we can feel safe in the static moments of our past. Lost memories of times in our lives when we felt at our happiest become these idyllic memories that we never want to leave. We feel so comforted by these moments that the pain of existing in the present can be too much to bear. The world as it is can be a harsh place, and these memories provide an escape, a level of solace in the fact that they don't change. (continues)
