These AI-generated portraits are each screenprinted on Trockels drawings and the artist's further engagement with spraypainted motifs, layering abstract elements that disrupt and enhance the compositions. Intriguingly, she incorporates the word "Démodé," a French term meaning "out of fashion" or "obsolete," adding a layer of commentary on the ephemerality of trends - including the rapid evolution and eventual obsolescence of AI.- and technology and the timelessness of personal and artistic identity.

This innovative series not only highlights Trockel's continuous engagement with contemporary themes but also underscores her ability to blend cutting-edge technology with more traditional artistic techniques, creating works that resonate with both historical depth and contemporary relevance.

ALBATROS

ALBATROS

Rosemarie Trockel , Albatros, 2019
Fiberglass print on laminated Paulownia wood, 182 x 52,1 x 6,35 cm
Edition of 20 ( + 8 AP )

Together with the global environmental organization Parley for the Oceans, Rosemarie Trockel produced the surfboard edition Albatros. An edition of 20, these surfboards unite the worlds of art and surfing as a messenger for the cause.

The title of the work Albatros refers to one of the most celebrated poems by Charles Baudelaire published in Les Fleurs du Mal. Baudelaire recounts the grace of the "king of the sky" in flight and its misfortunes on land, alluding to the artist and poet in their creative worlds contrasted to the mundanity of daily life. Albatrosses glide above the waves as do surfers, imbued with the forces of the oceans. Indeed, albatross, surfer and poet are "winged voyagers”, their spirits colliding in this artwork.
