Donnie Molls: Oral Histories / CMay Gallery, Los Angeles

CMAY Gallery in Los Angeles presents Donnie Molls’ inaugural solo exhibition, “Oral Histories”, delving into his family’s century-old migration from Mexico to Los Angeles. With no photographic records, Molls crafts a narrative using AI-generated images, shifting from traditional photographic techniques to AI-driven creations. Molls intertwines his family’s oral stories with his visual narrative, evolving his process over two decades. Previously using hybrid photographic methods, Molls now embraces AI, treating its outputs akin to his former photographic negatives. While relinquishing some control, Molls maintains artistic direction, employing AI as a tool to redefine reality, bridging photography and painting in his distinctive artistic expression. The exhibition runs until March 30, 2024.
