In this bewildering new world of Photoshop, CGI and plastic surgery, how do we know what's real anymore?
F for Fake is interested in the idea of mischief as both an act of play and as a political gesture. Taking Orson Wells' infamous film as its title and starting point, the exhibition looks at tricks, counterfeits, confusion, pranks, re-enactment and repeats. F for Fake backtracks, does a double-up, and asks-what might we learn from repetition?
