Description

Documentary art has long addressed the boundaries between truth and fiction, but in recent years, concerns about "fake news" and "alternative facts" have brought this topic to the forefront. This collection of contributions from artists who explore the relationship between fact and fiction offers a unique perspective on how documentary works can be used to reimagine our understanding of reality.

By examining how artists deploy concepts such as truth, reality, and post-truth, When Fact is Fiction reveals the ways in which the fine lines between fact and fiction can be used to create new versions of the present and future. This volume brings together a diverse range of voices and approaches, providing insight into the complex and often blurred boundaries between truth and fiction.

With its unique blend of artistic practice and critical theory, When Fact is Fiction offers a thought-provoking exploration of the role of documentary art in the post-truth era. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the intersection of art, politics, and media.
