False Witness includes installations by three artists—Joan Fontcuberta and the team of Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick—whose work is grounded in the idea of the malleability of history, memory, and fact. Working with photography and texts (injected with a great deal of humor), they turn our belief in the truthfulness of photographs against us and create elaborate hoaxes that falsify historic events.
