FAKE

November 2nd, 2020
Photographs have a direct relationship with reality, that is why photographs are sometimes confused with reality itself.
Garry Winogrand said: "It's light on surface" and also philosopher Roland Barthes put the essence of photography as follows: "Ça a été."
Everything we see in a photograph has been there. Even the most staged photograph refers to the reality of that construction.
René Magritte also warned us not to confuse an image of reality with reality itself.
This assignment was a game with the reality codes of the medium. Students were invited to construct three pictures that represent a false reality; to construct something that seems a photographic proof but which is not 'true'.

We looked at scientific photography and artists who played ironically with the credibility of photography: René Magritte, Joan Fontcuberta, Karl Blossfeldt, UFO's, Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger, The Roswell Report, Robert Capa, Mohamed Bourouissa, Georges Méliès, the Lumière Brothers, Aydin Buyuktas, Chema Madoz, Christian Patterson, Larry Sultan and Mike Mandell, Chris Engman, Salvador Dali, Asger Carlsen, Sjoerd Knibbeler, Christina De Middel, Enrique Metinides, Geert Goiris, Andreas Gursky, Jan Dibbets
