Toiletpaper

The image-based magazine Toiletpaper is the brainchild of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Toiletpaper made its debut in 2010, three years after Cattelan had ceased publishing the journal Permanent Food, which consisted of images torn from other magazines and republished. Cattelan teamed up with Ferrari—a commercial photographer whose background includes advertising work, branding campaigns, and Hollywood portraits—to ensure the images maintained a slick look and feel. Ferrari’s distinctive, highly manipulated photography for the magazine is marked by a Pop surrealist sensibility and lurid color palette.
