The Overlay is a multi-component artwork that explores construction and artificiality of localized representations of nature. The work references Disney’s “go-away green”: a color engineered to hide unsightly yet necessary objects in theme parks. Cámara Leret has collaborated with an AI processing engine fine-tuned on images of greenery and built environments to reveal hues of green for local neighborhoods. In a multi-channel film, a local hue is fabricated by Spain’s last living colorist and assimilated by the local community in its material form.
