In her latest photobook, Encyclopaedia (2024), Polish artist Weronika Gęsicka embarks on a quest to find evidence of fictitious entries in historical encyclopedias, known as “Mountweazels.” Originally used to more easily prove plagiarism through the use of such “fictitious facts,” Gęsicka employs AI-generated imagery and photomontages to explore pressing questions of our time: How can we get our bearings in an era of information manipulation and fake news? Which sources can we rely on? And, above all: What do we see when we look closely?
