"Really True" is about the way that pictures are used as evidence for occult phenomenas. A theme that we could only capture since the beginning of Photography. In "Really True" the viewer is the witness of some occult scenes who reflect on the first manipulated images made about paranormal phenomenas.

Story

Photography has the power to capture the visible truth. This is the main reason why we believe a photo is evidence for anything we didn’t see with our own eyes. At the same time photographs are very easy to manipulate. My work is about this paradox. It often comes with elusive phenomenas which we try to prove and visualize with photos since the invention of photography.
By means of old-fashioned manipulation, so no photoshop, I try to capture these imaginary themes on a realistic way. The manipulation that I apply while making the pictures stays visible in the final result.
