The article discusses the application of Gadamer's concept of indistinctiveness to the photography and soap-opera. It may be quite astonishing that the same perceptual mechanism connects photography and soap-opera. We can say that this is a veristic attitude. Receivers of both media have serious problems in distinguishing between performance or photographical image and the real live, between fiction and documentary. Nowadays, digital techniques of simulations allow us to create virtual reality and present it in the mass media. But it seems to be very different case from indistinctiveness between art and real live. The game of simulation is based on the ability to produce the illusion without any connection with real, material background.
