Alexey Yurenev: Seeing Against Seeing

Chelsea

Artist Alexey Yurenev discusses his haunting photobook "Seeing Against Seeing," which uses AI trained on 35,000 WWII-era images to imagine his grandfather's war experience, then pairs those synthetic prints with raw testimonies from Brighton Beach veterans. The conversation with designer Teun van der Heijden and Fred Ritchin unpacks how generative images can expose truths that photographs hide.
