Abstract
This short essay devoted to the topic of fictional truth and
(documentary) photography, opens this thematic issue of Center
Quarterly entitled "The Camera (Never) Lies". The author
examines the different strategies used by such visual artists as
John Baldessari, Gilles Peress, Martha Rosler, Sophie Calle,
Barbara Kruger, Karen Knorr, Jeff Wall, and Sarah Charlesworth.
Some statements: "Still photography has interrogated the
behaviour of our beliefs in images and their implied
authenticity". And: "Artists using a documentary style to
authenticate a fiction,... but with the intention of parodying
the real".
