More than an art form

Artist Alison Jackson has released a new book called "Confidential".

I can hear everyone, going who?

Alison Jackson who is an American artist with a new concept.

Jackson puts the theory to the test with this question: Is seeing really believing?

In fact her subjects in the book are celebrity look-alikes. Picture this: Brad Pitt shaving Angelina's legs or Jennifer Lopez having her bottom fluffed.

Jackson's work is causing quite a uproar because the lines between public life and private life have now become blurred. With the world going crazy for celebs, the public want to know more.

"Because we unquestioningly accept the authenticity of the photograph, it would appear that we are being given a glimpse of something confidential, a private moment. It is only upon closer examination that we question the reality of the image, and hopefully this makes us question our unwitting tendency to believe everything we see in the media today," the book's publisher says.

Enjoy these two pictures. They are my personal favourites.
