At some point during the early 20th century staged photography fell out of fashion, but in the 1960s it made a spectacular comeback, enriched by the external influences of popular culture. This program explains how staged photography has been used to deconstruct the idea of literal photographic realism. Also explored are the ways in which this art form trounces the notion of a camera's objectivity, as in Cindy Sherman's parodies of B-movie portrayals of imperiled women, and Jeff Wall's elaborate reinterpreting of classic paintings to make statements about modern life. The video also covers Mac Adams, Duane Michals, Eugene Meatyard, Bernard Faucon, David Levinthal, Thomas Demand, and Hiroshi Sugimoto, and discusses "Chance Meeting," "Hiding Behind the Eyes," "Things are Queer," "Mystery Series," "The Destroyed Room," "The Vampires' Picnic," and "The Flying Child.
