It’s Maurizio Cattelan, an inescapable figure of contemporary art, and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari who created this capsule collection for Seletti. Unlike any other, it is provocative, amusing, absurd and eccentric all at once. The items in this collection are decorated with surrealist images from the Toilet Paper magazine, founded in 2010 by two Italian artists. Perfectly manicured cut-off fingers, soap with bite marks, fish stuffed with precious stones, a canary with a cut-off wing. Dreamlike Toilet Paper motifs tinted with black humour inspired by the worlds of fashion and advertising, combining commercial photography, twisted visual narratives and surreal imagery. Toilet Paper questions our contemporary obsession with images by exploring our most unspeakable desires and impulses. The different pieces in the Toilet Paper collection are all striking tableaux, mixtures of disturbing normality and troubling ambiguity, faced with which dread mingles with visual pleasure. A work of art in itself, the Toilet Paper collection questions, due to its accessible price and wide distribution, the nature and limits of the contemporary art market. A questioning that has been at the centre of Maurizio Cattelan's work for a long time ... A bold graphic design highlighted by bright, contrasting colours: opt for a Toiletpaper notebook and you won’t be bored! Choosing is the hard part…
