FM DEATH is a conceptual editorial photography project that delves into the aesthetic and philosophical implications of frequency modulation algorithms applied to visual data. The work interrogates the fragility and instability of digital memory in an era where the human brain’s capacity for information retention has gradually been outsourced to virtual storage systems, particularly through the proliferation of photography and video.

Over the course of a year, photographic material was collected across various urban centers in Europe, including Lisbon, Madrid, and CDMX, with a focus on liminal and forgotten spaces—abandoned buildings, derelict paths, cemeteries, and other marginal environments. These sites serve as metaphors for memory’s erosion and the decay of collective consciousness in the digital age.

The images were further manipulated through a custom processing script that applies frequency modulation directly to the pixel matrix, generating a dreamlike distortion. This technique underscores the project’s central theme of digital ephemerality and the disintegration of stored visual memories, transforming the familiar into the uncanny.
