Toilet Paper Calendar 2024 - by Pierpaolo Ferrari (Spiral Bound)

Book Synopsis

Comical, alarming and provocative, Cattelan and Ferrari's 2024 calendar is conceived as an imaginary zoo

A bloodstained white rabbit crouching on pieces of meat; a proud-looking chicken encircled by mirrors; a hypnotic birdwatching installation: these are just some of the images that will keep you company in the colorful, hyper-saturated Toiletpaper Calendar for 2024, which is themed around the concept of imaginary zoos. Toilet Paper is a 12-year-old publishing project spearheaded by the internationally renowned artist Maurizio Cattelan and the photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Since its 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.
