TP, always colorful and quirky....5/5













Italian publishers Damiani continue to have faith in their Toilet Paper magazine with this special edition featuring the photos of Alex Prager. She photographs tableau-style work, which is very reminiscent of Ryan Schude and Gregory Crewdson.

The contents follow the same style as previous issues: single page or spread bleed photos (printed with 175 screen on a matt art) no captions or page numbers to get in the way of your interpretation of what the photos say. For example, a couple seated on separate chairs reading the New York Times with the top of each paper on fire. The room setting has a newspaper-covered floor and walls which are also on fire. What does it mean, maybe hot news.

This issue of TP delivers another colorful collection of eye-catching photos.
