Street View brings together billions of spherical images to provide a virtual representation of the world, which can be explored through the Google Maps app. Every day, millions of people contribute to the construction of this representation by producing three-dimensional photographs of their surroundings and sharing them on the app, where anyone can view them by clicking on the small blue circles on the map corresponding to the locations where the images were taken. In the project Alle soglie del visibile, vi sono venuta a cercare (At the Threshold of the Visible, I Came in Search of You), I travelled far and wide across this virtual territory, “entered” these three-dimensional images and, by “lowering my gaze”, searched for the shadows unintentionally photographed by their authors. These ghost-like presences emerge from virtual reality, revealing its essentially human dimension. By working on screenshots of the images, I gave visibility to these ghosts, granting them the status of self-portraits. This was achieved through a process of progressive detachment from their original matrix: rotating the shadows into a vertical orientation; cropping the device format into a photographic format; removing the Street View graphic interface; and finally, titling each self-portrait with the name of its author. As Byung-Chul Han writes, “We no longer inhabit the earth and the sky, but Google Earth and the Cloud. The world is becoming increasingly elusive, cloudy and spectral” (Non-things: Upheaval in the Lifeworld, 2021). The project aims to search for, foreground and preserve traces of humanity that would otherwise be destined to disappear within the folds of an increasingly pervasive and all-encompassing technological apparatus.
