True or Fake ?

I have been interested in landscapes as a social construction since 2021. The series "Fake or true?" is part of this approach. However, it differs from it because it first questions our senses to delineate the true and the false, then it more fundamentally questions the notions of reality and illusion in a game where the true and the false are lost..
For this, I photograph landscapes under construction, diverted for artistic uses (rural frescoes) or leisure (leisure parks), and also architectures in works covered with white tarpaulins or painted trompe-oeil .
Fleeing the anecdote, my photographs are frontal, architectural and purified like theatrical sets. However, I forbid any staging when shooting but I do not hesitate to rework the framing, brightness, contrasts and use the retouching tools. I work with 55-200 mm zoom.
