Trained as a photographer, Carol Bouyoucos has spent the last several years pushing past the camera’s claims to truth—folding her own images into AI systems, digital layering, and the slow accidents of computational misreading. The landscapes that emerge read as propositions about what nature might become once human authorship loosens its grip.Her recent work, increasingly ambitious in scale and mythic in register, marks a notable departure from the botanical and landscape series that established her vocabulary. In this conversation, she speaks about the terrain that shaped her eye, the painters and visionaries whose company she keeps, and the strange logic of making images in a moment when both ecosystems and pictures behave less and less predictably. What follows is a portrait of an artist thinking out loud about control, instability, and the worlds that emerge when she relinquishes both.
