A 'mock-documentary' is a fictional text that uses the documentary codes and conventions to look and sound as a documentary text, which challenges a special status of the documentary and suggests a new relationship between the public and the documentary genre, putting to the test spectators' abilities to differentiate between truth and fiction. The authoress presents the definition and characteristic features of 'mock-documentary' and introduces the reader to the views of Jane Roscoe and Craig Hight, the authors of the first monograph of the sub-genre. In 'Faking it: Mock-documentary and the subversion of factuality' (2001), the two identified the probable 'pioneers' of 'mock-documentary', set contexts essential for reflections of the form, and, first and foremost, divided 'mock-documentary' into three categories, depending on the type of relation a given text builds with factual discourse (parody, critique and deconstruction). She discusses cases of reality manipulation in documentary films and numerous examples of false TV documentaries in the 1990s in order to point to the differences between 'mock-documentary' and 'false documentary'.

The 'horisontalism' of artistic activity and reflection on art is connected with current life and surrounding reality. Their elements flow into works of art. Artworks are not examined historically (according to the history of a medium, style or individual creative evolution) but as a reaction to the network of object arrangements and functioning discourses that surround artists. Such comprehension of art has made Sztabinski introduce the concept of a 'documental turn'. Moreover, it has been depicted by him that the idea of 'documentation' is getting extended. Therefore, 'transdocumentation' appears. The term allows us to notice the specifics of such contemporary phenomena in which documentation does not only perform an informative function but also gives feedback upon what is documented. It is possible to distinguish many artistic approaches and practices within transdocumentation. One of them is a 'mock-documentary' - an ironic documentation that refers to documentary stereotypes and the audience's trust in the reliability of documents. 'Transdocumentation' as a practice and theoretical scheme, possible when understanding art 'horizontally', reveals a great potential for artistic activities and the critical practice.
