Fake vs. Reality

The photo exhibition shows works out of the famous Celebrity series by Alison Jackson.


The solo exhibition »Fake vs. Reality« features more than 40 photographs out of her world-famous ongoing series about celebrity fake news and the power of imagery in today’s media. Jackson’s first-ever exhibition at CAMERA WORK gallery is organized in cooperation with Crossover.

Jackson’s impressive and often provocative work sits squarely in the middle of the current fake news, alternative facts and news debates. For her photographs, she stages convincingly realistic sceneries about celebrities doing things in private using cleverly styled lookalikes. Likeness becomes real and fantasy touches on the believable. She creates scenarios we have all imagined but never seen before. The images often deal with social and political criticism, whereby these are often transferable to current states of society.
