Rijksmuseum Exhibition Reveals Historical Roots of Image Manipulation
A new exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam showcases the history of photo manipulation, highlighting that 'fake news' is not just a modern phenomenon. The exhibition, titled 'FAKE! Early Photo Collages and Photomontages,' features works from as early as 1860, demonstrating how photographers have been altering images for over a century. Notable pieces include a 1908 postcard by W.H. Martin depicting an oversized ear of corn and a vision of a future New York with flying cars. The exhibition runs until May 25, 2026.
