Exhibition at the Photographers Gallery 15th June to 14th October 2018

Alex Prager is one of the truly original image makers of our time. Working fluidly between photography and film, she creates large-scale projects that combine elaborately built sets, highly staged, complex performances and a 'Hollywood' aesthetic to produce still and moving images that are familiar yet strange, utterly compelling and unerringly memorable. In her career she has won both popular acclaim and the recognition of the art establishment - her work can be found in the collections of MoMA and the Whitney Museum in New York as well as institutions worldwide. This book is a career retrospective of this rising star. In 120 carefully curated photographs, it summarises Prager's creative trajectory and offers an ideal introduction for the popular 'breakout' audience who may have only recently encountered her work.
