First of All, It's Beautiful reframes collective dread—specifically the nuclear threat—without political rhetoric. Developed in collaboration with AI by Marat Guelman and the group + - Komma (Ruslan Solopeev, Boban Marković Jr., and Jean Jules), the project considers AI as a co-author and partner in articulating the aesthetics of contemporary anxiety. By placing images of nuclear explosions within familiar visual contexts, and drawing on artistic styles from ancient manuscripts through Pop Art and Arte Povera, the artists strip destructive symbols of their exclusivity and transform fear into conscious experience and language of art.
