The Naked Truth
by Antone Dolezal and Lara Shipley

Published as the winner of the Charta Award 2025

(ENG)

The Naked Truth combines traditional, manipulated, and performative photographs in dialogue with a historical archive, resurrecting the period of the Great Depression when a Victorian era health spa and resort was turned into a fake cancer curing hospital by “Dr.” Norman Baker. Baker began his career as a traveling vaudeville mesmerist, later finding success applying the same tools of spectacle and illusion as a medical charlatan.
