TOILETPAPER is a picture based magazine founded in 2010 by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialisation of the duo’s mental outbursts. TOILETPAPER combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and a troubling imagination, creating a world that displays ambiguous and surrealistic imagery. TOILETPAPER images have been reviewed by weekly and art magazines worldwide and appeared in special issues of magazines such as Vice and Hunger. TOILETPAPER was also exhibited on the High Line Billboard in Chelsea, NYC in May, 2012. In the same year images taken from the first six issues have been published in an anthology, together with selected narrative texts, that was reviewed in The New York Times’ Top 10 Photo Books.
