Turns out there's some controversy surrounding Zilla van den Born's fake vacation (
see previous post). Another art student, Merel Brugman, says that Zilla stole the idea from her, because two years ago, while Merel was at the Willem de Kooning Academy, she did an art project that was almost identical. Merel's project was called "Same Same But Different" and also involved simulating a vacation in Asia via photoshopped pictures. There's
an article (in Dutch) about the controversy here. And details of Merel Brugman's project are
on her site.
