FAKE PHOTOGRAPHY

This work points to how we experience the world of photography and how art identity is modeled by evolving around iconic references. It is also speaking of photo- graphic ability to lie, mask, and intrigue.

With all virtual index of references that we carry in and all samples from well-known photographic work, I start to perform for photography (in front of gallery wall featuring proven photography art as a background).

Fake Photography has affinities with a tradition of artists performing to create fictions. I was creating art from exist- ing material, but these photographs just look like copies, complicating the cycle of representation in which they are enmeshed. In a world where nobody knows what is real and what is fake, the series confounds viewers, leaving them unsure of what is artificial and what is real.
