Alison Jackson is creating fantasies via constructed and deliberately fake photographs. In constructing these fakes she's playing on our society's collective fantasy. The constructions are untrue but they could be true, and therefore the threat of them not being false renders them quite interesting. One looks at her photos, mentally knows that they are false but still wonders if maybe they aren't... is that really the Queen watching 2 horse having sex?
