Trepat: A Case Study in Avant-Garde Photography is an elaborate artistic project and conceptual photo hoax created by Spanish artist and photographer Joan Fontcuberta in 2014.
The project claims that Josep Trepat Galceran (1881–1974), founder of a 1914 agricultural machinery factory in Tàrrega, Spain, commissioned famous avant-garde photographers, such as Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, Alexander Rodchenko, and Walker Evans, to document his factory and modernize his corporate image.
The historical narrative and many of the associated photographs are an elaborate fiction. Fontcuberta digitally manipulated or contextualized iconic images from 20th-century art history to falsely place these modern masters inside the Catalan factory. [1]
The project was debuted as an exhibition curated by Fontcuberta at the Rencontres d'Arles photography festival in July 2014.
Colophon is on second page of blue leaflet bound between page 6 and 7.
