The new special Toilet Paper edition, in collaboration with British artist-photographer Miles Aldridge.
Miles Aldridge (born 1964 in London) is a fashion photographer known worldwide for his singular style of glamorous, surreal, saturated photography, sophisticated staging and cinematic atmospheres. A regular contributor to the Italian edition of Vogue, he has also published in Numéro, Paradis, Citizen K, The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Toilet Paper is an artists' magazine created and produced by
Maurizio
Cattelan and photographer
Pierpaolo Ferrari (
Le
Dictateur), born out of a passion or obsession they both
cultivate: images. Following in the wake of Cattelan's cult publication
Permanent Food, the
magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple,
and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization
of the artists' mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in 2010,
Toilet
Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous
narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of
commercial
photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic
imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art which,
through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide
distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.
