With the minimal and conceptual movement, the art of this period is defined and reconstructed with elements external to the work: proofs, certificates, complementary information … In response to this tendency, Mac Adams introduces the notion of fiction into his photographs. Mac Adams fits into the conceptual current but responds differently: in the narration, everything is inside the image, all information is immediately accessible.1
