Dutch graphic design student Zilla van den Born recently conducted an interesting experiment on the power of phoney and misleading photos on social media. For five weeks, Zilla tricked her family and Facebook friends into thinking that she was on a long and exciting vacation through South East Asia. In reality, she never even set foot outside of her home city of Amsterdam.
Going to extraordinary measures to keep her elaborate ruse up, Zilla spent her 42-day ‘vacation’ coming up with meticulously thought up adventures, Photoshopping and/or placing herself in a number of situations you’d expect a tourist to partake in and sharing them on Facebook.
