Too True Pt. 3

Alain Delorme. Totem. In these photos, Delorme is playing with the reality in modern China. The truth in these, the fact that people do carry a lot of stuff around is taking one step further, by making the piles of stuff so large they overwhelm their owner. This is where the untruth comes into play. More here: http://www.alaindelorme.com/?p=works&ga=totem&ch=image

Vincent Fournier. The Man Machine. In this series, Fournier is showing us the rise of the robot. A lot of these images can definitely be read as truth, like the ones of people working on robots. It's the photos of robots doing human-like actions, like peeking through blinds or sitting in a waiting room, that start to be untrue. More here: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-man-machine

Too True Pt. 2

Conan Thai. Attempts to Fly. In these photos, Thai is capturing people jumping into the air. Thai uses the thin line between truth and fiction to make us believe that these people are actually jumping to incredible heights. See more of this series here: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conan-thai

Barbara & Michael Leisgen. Mimesis. 1974. In this series, Barbara and Michael Leisgen are examining how nature can reflect or mime itself. In both of these images, the woman appears to be hugging or holding items in the natural world. Obviously, she can't actually be hugging a cloud or holding the sun, but I think this still counts as TrueFiction.

Too True Pt. 1

Nathan Cyprys. Buried. In these photos, Cyprys is pictured half buried in sand, dirt or water. These images could be taken as harmless truth, just a guy swimming or buried in the sand, but they take on a more somber tone, leading me to think they are staged for a different reason.
