100% Fact
What is truth? News has become seemingly less about fact and more about opinion. But even facts can tell very different stories depending on the perspective of the organisation publishing the fact and what their aims are. Is it left, right, centre or something else entirely? This artist book was produced to explore the concept of 'fact' and how that may lead to different truths. By playing off statistical fact - with no opinion or comment - the reader is asked to make up their own mind. The only influence is their 'truth'. The dots represent the certainty of a full stop and the halftone method of newspaper production. 'Truth' is evoked through referencing the traditional broadsheet newspaper size and typeset in Times New Roman. -- from information sheet provided by the artist.
