Reality Check: Truth and Illusion in Contemporary Photography
November 4, 2008 - March 22, 2009

Joyce and Robert Menschel Hall for Modern Photography, 2nd floor
The Metropolitan Museum of Art

This installation of works from the permanent collection
-the third in the Museum's new gallery for contemporary photographs-
surveys the ways in which artists exploit photography's fundamental illusionism
to create a sense of ambiguity about what is real and what is not.
Among the works featured are photographs of staged scenarios
or constructed environments that appear to be real,
as well as real scenes or landscapes that appear strangely artificial.
