ToiletAlex PaperPrager
Alex Prager and Maurizio Cattelan
The magazine features a back-to-back of twelve images by Alex Prager and twelve conceived by Toiletpaper: the alluring aesthetics, vibrant colors, and characteristic visual deviations found in Toiletpaper enhance Prager’s universe, and reciprocally so. The artist’s exploration of the delicate boundary between reality and fiction, utilizing her unique blend of archetypes, everyday objects, humor, and allegory, forms the core of a tantalizing and enigmatic journey.
This new magazine is in continuity with ToiletMartin PaperParr, a special publication that in 2018 collected the most iconic images from the prolific archives of the internationally renowned artist Martin Parr and the Cattelan-Ferrari duo.
