ALEX PRAGER 「WEEK-END」

more pic



I went to Alex Prager "Week-end" at Ring Cube yesterday.

Up to the photograph with strangeness and the impact a little begins to copy with 18 color pictures, and she seems to be
"The world that exists in this world and the world that doesn't exist are done and the document is done at the same time. " according to her word through this work. Her having tried to draw in this work is felt eeriness, and monotony in the scenery of the town of the LA that symbolizes the promise of beauty and happiness. It was interested in "Something" transmitted from her work very much though I saw, and became mysterious feelings a little.


She seemed to be influenced by the work of WILLIAM EGGLESTON, and to be absorbed in the photograph. She eschewed art school and began studying photography on her own, learning equipment and lighting through trial and error.
I hear that magazines such as 「Details」,「i-D」and 「Tank」 were active to her. It seems to schedule the one-man show in Michel Hoppen Contemporary of London in June, and it will not be possible to take one's eyes off from her future.
