The ToiletWalter PaperChandoha Calendar 2026 presents 13 photographs of sweet, polyamorous and sleepy cats by the American photographer Walter Chandoha and the artistic duo and animal lovers of Toiletpaper.
Walter Chandoha, one of the world's most famous cat photographers, defined the visual language of cat portraits for over 80 years and took some 90,000 cat photos during his life. His signature lighting technique captured each cat's unique personality, creating timeless, empathetic images that continue to inspire artists and photographers today.
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.
