In Alga Mirablis the viewer encounters a fictional character browsing YouTube videos recorded of a strange phenomenon – a neon green, floating object that appeared out of nowhere in a river in a Finnish national park. Shortly after its appearance, YouTube has been flooded with witness videos and confused comments.
Through exploiting popular media platforms, Google and Youtube, "Alga Mirablis" explores the ways we deem information reliable or questionable. With a tone of irony and humor the work explores the line between fact and fiction and brings in question the ways in which online content can be created and interpreted.
Alga Mirablis was featured at Schiedam Photo Festival in the Netherlands, 2018.
