toilet paper

toilet paper by artist maurizio cattelan with photographer pierpaolo ferrari.  the book is based on their magazine-cum-artist's book started in 2010 that contained no text, only full spreads of color photographs. in an interview with vogue italia, ferrari said that "the project emerged from a passion/obsession that maurizo and i have in common. each picture springs from an idea, even a simple one, and then becomes a complex orchestration of people who build tableaux vivants. this project is also a sort of mental outburst." the book is available at artbook.
