Toilet Paper is an image-based magazine conceived by Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, under the artistic direction of Micol Talso. Founded in 2010, the magazine takes the form of a limited-edition book, complemented by a website that extends its iconographic research into a collage of animated and video content.
This is the very first issue, a special edition published in June 2010 in collaboration with the Deste Foundation. Rooted in an uncanny, slightly surrealist iconophilia, the publication unfolds through a succession of twisted tableaux in which the strange, the absurd, and the familiar converge in unexpected narratives and an ultra-contemporary aesthetic.
