"Soluble Meat"

Single channel video installation,
duration: 7 hour
2025

Koizumi created his latest work, Soluble Meat, using an Al program called Luma Dream Machine. He fed the Al old black and white photos of hypnosis sessions and gave it the following prompt: 'This is a tragic film about people losing their free will'. The artist then repeatedly fed the composite image created by algorithms back into the program, with the same prompt. By repeating this process every five seconds, he created a film in which incomprehensible events are slowly taking place. The scenes are familiar; yet like a confusing dream, they have no logic behind them.

These strange video sequences were then entered into an Al program called Google Gemini to interpret them in order to create the voice-over. Although Koizumi sees the film as an Al stream of consciousness, he emphasises that there is always a human behind the input and decision-making.

In this way, the film is reminiscent of automatic writing, a method the surrealists used to tap into their subconscious minds 100 years ago.
