ResumoespanolDesde la aparicion de los primeros daguerrotipos en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, la manipulacion de la imagen fotografica ha sido una companera inalienable del desarrollo del medio. Introducidos para suplir las carencias de la tecnica, la fotomanipulacion, el collage, o los trucajes visuales pronto comenzaron a ser explotados como privilegiados generadores de imagen que permitian crear fantasias imbuidas del aura de lo real. A lo largo del siglo XX, fotografia, collage y manipulacion han acompanado la evolucion de ciudad y arquitectura, tanto para retratarlas como para jugar con su imagen fotografiada, creando ficciones alumbradas en el lienzo del papel fotografico. Con la llegada de la era digital, las posibilidades de tratamiento de la imagen han crecido exponencialmente, alejando aun mas a la imagen fotografica de su supuesta objetividad innata, pero multiplicando tambien su poder para engendrar nueva y subyugante imagineria. ‘Real Fictions’ ofrece una vision del imaginario arquitectonico al que el procesamiento digital de la imagen esta dando lugar, desde los trabajos de autores en contacto directo con lo disciplinar como Philipp Schaerer o Filip Dujardin a las ficciones arquitectonicas generadas por una heterogenea multitud de artistas y profesionales, planteando sus posibles aportes a la disciplina y su contribucion a reivindicar el papel de la fotografia en un mundo de construccion digital. EnglishSince the earliest daguerreotypes appeared in the second half of the 19th century, the manipulation of photographic image has been an inseparable companion of the development of the medium. Firstly introduced as a way to make up for the limitations of technique, soon they started being used as privileged imagery generators that allowed to produce fantasies imbued with the aura of reality. Throughout the 20th century, photography, collage and photo-manipulation have accompanied the evolution of both the modern city and architecture, both portraying them and playing with their photographic image, creating fictions conceived in the canvas of the photographic paper. With the advent of the digital era, the possibilities to manipulate images have grown exponentially, taking photography further away from its alleged built-in objectivity, but also multiplying its ability to engender novel, captivating images. ‘Real Fictions’ presents an overview of the architectural imagery that the digital processing of images is producing, from the work of authors with a close relationship with disciplinary architecture such as Philipp Schaerer or Filip Dujardin to the architectural fictions generated by a heterogeneous multitude of artists and professionals, in order to discuss their potential contributions both to the discipline and to the claim for the role of photography in the age of digital image production.
