Photography has always had a troubled relationship to the truth, from staged images of the American Civil War to airbrushed celebrities in contemporary magazine photography.

The artists under discussion (including Thomas Demand, Cindy Sherman & Oliver Laric) create staged images, tinker in post-production, or invent impossible scenarios that disturb and challenge our expectations.
