The thesis deals with the question of the relationship between image and reality in relation to a series of works based on satellite images of landscapes, which form the practical part of the thesis. I begin my reflection on the truth of art with Plato, who rejects mimetic works of art because of their false similarity, and continue it with the theories of Gérard Wajcman and Alain Badiou, who recognise in modern art the capacity to reveal truth. As an alternative way of thinking about art, I cite some of the works of Gilles Deleuze, who replaces the categories of model and copy with the concept of simulacra, and I conclude with Mladen Dolar, who points out that mimesis and imitation always return, despite the many proclamations of the end of mimetic art.
