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
in all cases you find interesting and compelling examples of image makers very engaged with the "mendacity" paradox of photo - that it lies and tells the truth at the same time.
