This contribution examines the temporal paradox inherent in the self-image, from early modern reflections such as Moholy-Nagy’s speculative self-portrait and Wilde’s Dorian Gray to contemporary postphotographic practices. Focusing on Noah Kalina’s long-term self-portraiture and its computational reconfigurations, the study analyzes how time-lapse and AI-based processes disrupt photographic instantaneity, introducing retroactive, predictive, and hyperbolic tem- poralities. Postphotographic self-images are thus reframed as genera- tive, reflexive dispositifs that decenter identity from linear biological time.

Abstract
This contribution examines the temporal paradox inherent in the self-image, from early modern reflections such as Moholy-Nagy’s speculative self-portrait and Wilde’s Dorian Gray to contemporary postphotographic practices. Focusing on Noah Kalina’s long-term self-portraiture and its computational reconfigurations, the study analyzes how time-lapse and AI-based processes disrupt photographic instantaneity, introducing retroactive, predictive, and hyperbolic tem- poralities. Postphotographic self-images are thus reframed as genera- tive, reflexive dispositifs that decenter identity from linear biological time.File in questo prodotto:
