Toiletpaper Mirror – / Lipsticks – 62 X 140 Cm – Seletti

It is Maurizio Cattelan, an inescapable figure of contemporary art, and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari who created this capsule collection for Seletti. Unlike any other, the toiltpaper lipstick mirror is provocative, amusing, absurd and eccentric all at once. The plates, mugs, tablecloths and mirrors in this collection are decorated with surrealist images taken from the Toilet Paper magazine, founded in 2010 by two Italian artists. Perfectly manicured cut fingers, bitten soap, sausage bars, a canary with a clipped wing, etc… dreamlike Toiletpaper motifs tinted with black humour inspired by the worlds of fashion and advertising, combining commercial photography, twisted visual narratives and surreal imagery. It questions our contemporary obsession for images, explores our most unspeakable desires and urges. All the items in the Toiletpaper collection present startling scenes, mixing disturbing normality and troubling ambiguity, stirring feelings of horror combined with a visual pleasure. A work of art in itself, the Toiletpaper collection questions, due to its accessible price and wide distribution, the nature and limits of the contemporary art market. This question has always been central to Maurizio Cattelan's work. This silkscreen printed mirror measures: Width 62 cm x H 140 cm.
