Anatomia is a narrative video entirely created using artificial intelligence. The video explores the risk of medicalizing human experiences, where emotions and difficulties are transformed into something to "cure" rather than to live. In a society where experiences that shape human identity — such as family imbalances, loneliness, grief, and inconsistent growth — are often reduced to diagnoses and treatments, the video tells the story of an individual "disassembled" piece by piece, in search of the triggering cause of their suffering. However, instead of bringing healing, this process reduces the individual to a standardized and uniform version, stripping them of their authenticity.
The creative process behind "Anatomia" focused on using AI as a narrative tool to represent fragmentation and depersonalization, rather than as an autonomous device. The AI becomes a medium to reflect on the human condition and its relationship with medicalization and the normalization of emotional experiences.
