Joan Fontcuberta’s work is concerned with the manipulation of information. In Digne, in the context of the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence, he presents the incredible discovery of hydropithecans, fossil mermaids and the missing link in the human line between terrestrial and aquatic life. In the Promenade Museum, one of the specimens is presented, and in the Gassendi Museum, a room tells the story of the discovery and the biography of the inventor, with a wealth of detail: humor is always present in Joan Fontcuberta’s work, encouraging us to be skeptics!
