LYKEN
LYKEN reconstructs childhood night terrors using 3D modelling and Extended Reality. I place fragmented memories into the physical world, creating an immersive form of exposure therapy. All images are shot in-camera, the real and imagined co-existing in real time. My process: mikesouthmakes.com/lyken
About Artist
Mike South
Based between London and the island of Madeira, I create surreal, timeless images. My documentary filmmaking background created a passion for exploring the darker side of humanity, but within a minimalist style. To distill the complex into the simple. I love to incorporate the story behind the images - creating films and composing music to accompany my images. Always embracing emerging technology, I’m first fine art photographer to use Extended Reality (XR) as their medium. I add synthetic subjects to the real world in real time, without relying on post-production. Drawing inspiration from futurist philosophy, cinematic effects, and natural landscapes, my work explores the fusion of past, present, and future.
