The latest creative collaboration of Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari

An artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, Toilet Paper is born out of a shared passion for images. The magazine contains no text. Each picture springs from an (often very simple) idea, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts.

Since the first issue in June 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 widely distributed magazine, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.
