This episode analyses the main processes in this deconstruction of the "pseudo" truth of photographic language: composition, light, breakdown into narrative scenes, the use of figures, set, accessories and studio work, or on the contrary, the staging of a veritable performance.
For almost the entire 20th century, photography was mainly realist. But from the 1960s, "staged photography" was no longer considered na?ve or pass¨¦, and made a major comeback, enriched by the external influences of film, theatre, performance and sculpture. This photography that was "infused" by other mediums played on the ambiguity of photographic realism.
