Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari 'Toilet Paper' Magazine

"Toilet Paper" is an artists' magazine created by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. 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 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 magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.
I love this magazine, it embodies everything that I am thinking and trying to create at the moment; the pictures that 'displays ambiguous narratives', they make no sense but somehow still manage to have a narrative. I would say this is photography at its purest as an art form, the images don't have to make sense at all, rather they must promote ideas and concepts and look interesting at the same time. I am going to scour through every page I can find and try and tap into that imagination to bring into my photography.
