THEY TAUGHT US NOT TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING WE READ ONLINE. NOW WE’LL HAVE TO LEARN NOT TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING WE SEEThe videos at the top of this post come from the Instagram profile of a stunning girl. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say they come from the profile of a girl who doesn’t actually exist.
I can’t say for sure, but there’s something about them that makes me think they were created using artificial intelligence. Certain movements, a few gestures, that almost-too-perfect beauty… Small details that still raise suspicions when you look closely enough.
The problem is that those little clues are disappearing fast.
During the early years of artificial intelligence, it was relatively easy to spot a generated image. Hands with six fingers, weird-looking eyes, distorted objects, impossible shadows, or bodies that defied the most basic principles of anatomy.
The image might have looked impressive, but there was always something that eventually gave it away.
Now it’s not that simple. Faces show natural expressions, skin has texture, hair moves realistically, and light behaves exactly as it should. Voices breathe, hesitate, laugh, and change tone. Videos include camera movements, shallow focus, flaws, and tiny imperfections deliberately added to make them look real.
And this is only the beginning.

WHITEPLACE_1. PART THREEAfter spending two installments exploring the universe of
Whiteplace_1 (白寺), we bring this series to a close with one final selection of photographs by the elusive Chinese artist.
His work demonstrates that eroticism doesn’t always need an explanation. Sometimes it is far more effective to suggest a story, conceal part of the model’s identity and allow a pose, a rope or a glance to construct everything else.
Whiteplace_1 uses fetishism as an artistic language rather than merely as a sexual attraction. His images are conceived as compositions in which the human body coexists with fantasy, performance and a certain sense of mystery.
Perhaps that is why we know so little about him. While other photographers turn their own identity into a fundamental part of their work, Whiteplace_1 disappears behind the camera and allows everything to unfold in front of it.
The third and final installment dedicated to a photographer who, without revealing much about himself, has managed to create an instantly recognizable visual universe.
