Alex Prager Cindy 2007 Color coupler print. 24 x 49 in. (61 x 124.5 cm). Signed, titled, dated and numbered in ink on the reverse of the acrylic flush-mount. One from an edition of 9.
Artist Bio Alex Prager American • 1979 Influenced by pulp fiction and cinematic tropes, self-taught photographer and film-maker Alex Prager creates striking, sometimes unnerving images that are filled with a dynamic cast of characters. The hyperreal worlds she creates are packed with human melodrama, like the retro 'damsel in distress' character that regularly makes appearances in Prager's brightly colored and dramatically lit scenes. With influences ranging from David Lynch Alfred Hitchcock William Eggleston Cindy Sherman and Gregory Crewdson Prager references the vivid aesthetics of mid-twentieth century American cinema and photography. Pairing photographs alongside her films as part of her practice, Prager presents an eerie, alternative world where more questions are asked than answered. View More Works
