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.
