Конструкции на визуалната истина: достоверността на границата между живописта и фотографията
Constructing Visual Truth: The Credibility at the Intersection of Painting and Photography

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the issue of illusion and veracity in visual arts, focusing on the relationship between photography and painting. Photography, due to its optical nature, is often perceived as a more reliable medium for capturing reality. However, examples of falsified documentary evidence challenge the modern concept of its factual objectivity. In this context, photorealism and postmodern staged photography are analyzed as examples of reevaluating the boundaries between the arts—established in the first half of the 20th century—based on the dichotomy of veracity and illusion. Veracity in visual arts is not an absolute attribute but a construct shaped by context and cultural interpretation. Differences in the medial conventions and audience perception reveal that both photography and painting can create compelling, yet not necessarily factually accurate, two-dimensional illusions.
