ABOUT

Author, storyteller and visual artist.

Zachely Aster’s work moves between literature, music, fashion and film.

His practice begins with intuition — characters, atmospheres, stories and imagined worlds that take different forms across books, images and video.

His exploration of generative AI began with KIOM, a music and narrative project that emerged from a dialogue between human and machine. While creating music videos for KIOM’s songs, he developed a visual practice shaped by sound, atmosphere and narrative.

This later evolved into fashionAIdicted, an ongoing series of conceptual fashion collections, editorials and films exploring the zeitgeist through costume, identity and visual storytelling.

Alongside these visual worlds, Aster continues to write fiction, including the planned fantasy trilogy Nenufar Chronicle and the completed novel Der andere Faust.

Across all of these forms, the starting point remains the same: a story, an image, a question — and the search for the form it wants to take.
