Synthmorphik Doppelgänger Enters Rothschild Collection

 

Dinorah Delfin’s Wagner x Wagner: A Synthmorphik Doppelgänger — Variation 1 has been acquired by the Rothschild Collection in Hamburg, Germany, as both an NFT and a limited-edition print. Part of Delfin’s ongoing Synthmorphik Doppelgänger Variations series, the work reimagines the figure of the iconic composer Richard Wagner through AI-driven synthesis, merging 19th-century portraiture with contemporary generative aesthetics.

 

The piece embodies Delfin’s continued investigation into posthuman identity — here manifested as the self confronting its synthetic clone — while navigating the dynamic relationship between classical iconography and AI-generated imagery. This acquisition marks a significant addition to the Rothschild Collection, renowned for its thoughtful engagement with both historical masterpieces and pioneering contemporary art, fostering a dialogue between tradition and innovation.
