Eastern Promises
[ DESCRIPTION ]
A room built from Mammadov's study of nineteenth-century European Orientalist painting, shown at Art in Space, Dubai, in March 2023. The source is more than 8,000 paintings of the Near East and North Africa. A panoramic film of six minutes and forty seconds runs on a curved wall ten metres long. Ten upright screens stand with it, one for each recurring subject of the genre, among them interiors, palace scenes, bazaars, architecture, portraits and landscapes. Object-detection boxes, classification scores and cluster diagrams stay visible over the generated images.
