Published by Damiani. Edited by Maurizio Cattelan, Pierpaolo Ferrari, Alex Prager.
The latest issue of Toilet Paper magazine features 12 images by Alex Prager juxtaposed with 12 images conceived by the team at Toilet Paper. The magazine’s alluring aesthetics, vibrant colors and playful visual deviations enter into a reciprocal conversation with the technicolor universe of Alex Prager’s work. Prager’s exploration of the delicate boundary between reality and fiction, utilizing her distinct blend of archetypes, everyday objects, humor and allegory, forms the core of a tantalizing and enigmatic journey. This new magazine follows ToiletMartin PaperParr (2018), a special publication that collected the most iconic images from the prolific archives of the internationally renowned artist Martin Parr and the Cattelan-Ferrari duo. Alex Prager (born 1979) is an American artist, director and screenwriter based in Los Angeles. Prager is known for her uncanny images and films that blur the line between artifice and reality to explore the human condition. She has exhibited at museums worldwide and received numerous awards, including the Foam Paul Huf Award and an Emmy Award. Most recently her short film Run (2022) was nominated for the 2023 SXSW Grand Jury Award. Prager is currently in production for her directorial debut feature film, DreamQuil, cowritten with her sister, Vanessa Prager.
