Galerie XII Los Angeles

Vee Speers presents for the first time a dynamic installation of photography and video, using a generative and interactive AI platform. Speers has transformed her collection of original black and white criminal mug shots for Guilty Not Guilty, applying her unique hand-colouring technique fused with cutting edge AI animation to bring each character to life with a bold and contemporary pop-art aesthetic. Vee Speers defends the underdog, empowering the unlucky and misfortunate who were once condemned by society for petty crimes. She rewrites their stories with empathy and humour, giving them a second chance and a new voice and creating a place in today’s world where they belong as heroes and aspirational characters
