Title: A Love Story for a Brighter Future: The Wedding Party
Whether a same-sex couple can marry in church depends on laws and religious beliefs. Most churches, especially in Italy, do not allow same-sex marriages. The issue is subject to debate and varies greatly among different religious communities and countries.
This project aims to explore and document everyday situations that are unlikely or not discussed in public because of social, cultural or religious taboos. The church celebration of a wedding between individuals of the same sex with a classical Italian Catholic rite was made possible thanks to artificial intelligence. It allowed me to make this experience real, challenging prejudices accumulated over a lifetime and enabling individuals often marginalized by the church to still express their religion and authenticity, just like everyone else. Bride and groom and guests, without fear, show their authenticity by living their religion in freedom.
Artificial intelligence has transformed the church into a place open to positivity, tolerance, inclusion and fairness. Most importantly, it has made it real. I just hope this can make people realize that not only is it real, but it can be real if we just believe in it. A project on a parallel reality of digital respect and embrace of human diversity.
