"Published for the release of the Summer 2011 issue Toilet Paper: Tar Edition is a special edition of this extravagant publication, gathering the worst images from the first three issues of Toilet Paper into one volume. Part magazine, part artist's book, Toilet Paper is conceived and edited by Italian-born provocateur, mischief-maker and macabre witness to our times Maurizio Cattelan, and his fellow countryman photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. Published by Deste, Toilet Paper contains no text; only full spreads of photographs, replete with twisted narratives and surrealistic imagery that often appropriate the slick production values of commercial photography to deliver dreamlike (or nightmarish) tableaux that are as appropriate for the coffee table as they are for the WC." -- publisher's statement.
