Blood And Ink
Francesca Fini
Through a hybrid process that blends physical collage, digital tools, and hand-drawn graphics, Blood and Ink explores the shifting borderlands between analog and screen-based creativity. With Google’s Veo 3 transition system, static images are transformed into a continuous visual journey, where one frame melts almost imperceptibly into the next. The project begins with very traditional gestures: digital painting, layered collage fragments, and expressive drawings that preserve the trace of the hand. Each composition is then enhanced through intelligent image processing, and Veo 3 is used to generate fluid transitions from one frame to another. Through carefully crafted prompts, I guide the video engine to interpret the visual language in terms of movement, texture, and emotional charge, producing transformation sequences that feel at once organic and subtly otherworldly.

THE SPELL
Francesca Fini
Space breathes. It pulses, dilates, and contracts—a surreal organ alive with impossible geometries. In this journey, we are pulled into a universe where architectures merge and intertwine, connected by a single, rhythmic breath. The camera plunges headlong into the viscera of the unknown, racing through corridors that shift and fold upon themselves. We chase shadows—a crow, black against impossible horizons, and a woman who is always the same yet forever different. She hides in the folds of space, reveals herself in fleeting glimpses, a ghost threading through the living walls. This is a descent into the body of space itself, where structure becomes flesh, and reality dissolves into a fever dream of interconnected worlds, all breathing as one.

Secret Garden
Francesca Fini
Secret Garden is a dreamlike journey through a paradise both beautiful and feral, where trees grow with bark encrusted in precious stones and creatures bear arabesque coats of interwoven golden filaments. It is a vision of uncompromised nature, raw, untamed and sacred, celebrated in the luminous splendor of gold. Three elemental guardians watch over this enchanted realm: Air, an elf who tends to jeweled insects; Earth, the queen of mystical beasts; and Water, the spirit who dwells beneath crystalline lakes. Fire lives in everything, in the animals, in the veins of the trees, in the golden grasses, and in the sunlight that filters through the leaves. Entirely created with AI technologies, Secret Garden fuses artistry and algorithmic precision. MidJourney and Leonardo AI shaped its characters and environments. Kling, LumaRAY3, and Veo 3.1 brought movement, transitions, and lifelike lipsync, while ElevenLabs’ new Music Tool composed its ethereal soundscape.

Paper World
Francesca Fini
Paper World unfolds within a tiny, fragile universe sculpted entirely from the lost love letters of humankind — torn confessions, unfinished poems, and whispered dreams, reborn as architecture and life itself. This delicate realm lives inside a shoebox, under the gentle watch of an angel dressed in paper and ink. Within its folds, whimsical creatures made of scribbles and folded sheets go about their daily routines — cooking, wandering, dreaming — their bodies and clothes woven from words once written for love. Every heartbeat of this paper civilization echoes the tenderness, longing, and beauty of the human emotions that created it.

Somnium Corvi
Francesca Fini
Somnium Corvi is a dreamlike meditation on space, performance, and the power of AI-driven imagination—where surreal cinema meets digital live art. The work was created through a method I call Vibe Prompting—a contemporary evolution of the Exquisite Corpse principle. Unlike traditional cinema, where the process begins with a structured plot, here the genesis is an image, a vision, much like in contemporary performance art. Within this single image already lie the essential elements: the space that frames the action, the performers who inhabit it, the costumes that extend and transform their bodies, and the theatrical and symbolic gestures they are called upon to perform. From that starting point, the film unfolds not through prewritten narrative arcs, but through a process of improvised co-creation. The characters themselves, together with the space reshaped by their performative action, dictate the path forward. Each scene emerges step by step, growing in dialogue with the AI, in a continuous exchange between human intention and algorithmic suggestion. Somnium Corvi is therefore not only a film, but also a research practice: an exploration of how AI can generate new dramaturgies where architecture becomes protagonist, costumes transform into extensions of the psyche, and bodies carve out meaning through gestures suspended between the real and the surreal. It is a cinema of vision and performance, where narrative becomes an evolving score and the AI becomes a collaborator in the act of invention. In this particular film, the absolute protagonist is architecture—an abandoned church that becomes a space of the soul, unfolding, expanding, and transforming into further impossible chambers where new stories take place, each one connected through the extensions of a dreamlike space. To achieve this, I worked extensively with Kling’s first-frame/last-frame tool, inventing new imaginative transitions and workflows for daring camera movements that resonate with the oneiric character of the film.

DECOHERENCE
Francesca Fini
"Decoherence" is a series of AI-generated short films inspired by the vintage sci-fi radio dramas of the 1960s and 1970s—works I’ve always cherished for their narrative richness and their uncanny ability to immerse us, through sound alone, in mysterious and deeply atmospheric worlds. These shorts, entirely created with artificial intelligence, are dystopian tales where the surreal and the uncanny erupt into the most mundane and familiar lives. Each episode unfolds like a sonic hallucination, quietly disturbing the fabric of everyday reality. Set in a universe governed by the fluid chaos of quantum decoherence, the series explores the fragile boundaries between perception and truth, memory and illusion, order and entropy. Here, meaning slips through the cracks, and the absurd becomes not just possible, but inevitable.

LOVE
Francesca Fini
Karma is less of a survivor than an apparition—an afterimage that persists in a landscape that has been abandoned by humanity. She traverses the remnants of a civilization that has perished, where the Earth has reverted to a primordial battlefield where the great archetypes continue to clash. Or, it is possible that she is a forgotten divinity, reclaiming a domain of collapsed mines, rust-freckled sacrificial altars, and wind-tossed drifts of fabric that have been shed by billions of vanished bodies. She transforms into a living panopticon that fractures the surrounding ruin into a thousand recursive reflections, enveloped in a mantle of mirrored fragments. "Time moves sideways here, where love rebuilds itself from broken geometries and impossible mathematics." Karma is pursued by Mr. Pink, her feral, sentimental nemesis, whose animal magnetism stalks her across the shattered thresholds of the world, as her voyage spirals between seduction and repulsion. Their pursuit is not merely spatial; it is ontological, as it revolves around the concealed fulcrum where their shared ancestral nature ignites in a planet in flames. In the midst of that revelation, both figures relinquish their provisional identities and confront the archaic forces that had shaped them long before their names were forgotten by history. LOVE is on the brink of becoming the first video performance that is wholly created through the alchemy of artificial intelligence. The metaphysics of spontaneous gesture, the visceral weight of living sculpture, the incantatory force of poetry, and the symbolic grammar of contemporary live action are all amplified and transformed by digital superpowers. A voracious hybrid entity, metamorphic and insatiable, arises, eager to consume new perceptions and recompose them into uncharted mythologies.
