ToiletMartin PaperParr Book, Toilet Paper - Limited Edition with Satin Scarf

Limited edition, accompanied by a satin scarf, of the book celebrating the collaboration between Toilet Paper and Martin Parr.

This luxurious work compiles the images resulting from the photographic exchange between, on the one hand, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari and, on the other hand, the British photographer Martin Parr. The founders of Toilet Paper asked their prestigious guest to create a dialogue between their images and his own photographs. The result comes in the form of a matching game that is at once ironic, subversive and disturbing, which makes this publication a captivating object with a highly addictive power.
Limited edition of 300 numbered copies.

Founded in 2010 by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari (The Dictator), Toilet Paper is a magazine without equivalent. In the wake of Permanent Food and Charley, Cattelan's cult projects, Toilet Paper, half artists' book, half magazine, questions our contemporary obsession with images by exploring our most unspeakable desires and impulses. Consisting exclusively of photographs, each of which is meticulously constructed within a specific mental environment, Toilet Paper perverts the codes of media iconography, borrowing from fashion, advertising, cinema, combining commercial photography, twisted visual narratives and surrealist imagery to create a series of striking paintings, mixtures of disturbing normality and disturbing ambiguity, in which fear mixes with visual pleasure. A work of art as such, Toilet Paper also questions, through the accessibility of the magazine format and wide distribution, the nature and limits of the contemporary art market.
