'TOILETPAPER' and Fotografiska Join Forces for Upcoming Berlin Show
Frustrated by the rigidity of the art world, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari set out to carve their own corner of culture – a home for a shared love of the absurd, edgy, surreal and provocative. And in 2010, TOILETPAPER was born.Now, the Italian art duo is heading to Germany to unveil a new exhibition at Fotografiska Berlin. Aptly-titled ToiletFotoPaperGrafiska, the show takes a bold step beyond the printed page and into immersive installations and high-saturated environments that revel in the cult publication’s knack for dark satire, pop culture and acidic social commentary.Visitors are invited to step into the “curated chaos” of TOILETPAPER, taking the form of swimming pools overflowing with fake bananas or a fun house maze of floor-to-ceiling prints. It’s less about decoding the message and more about surrendering to the strange, unforgettable ride.“It’s like being invited to the best party of your life, where everyone is wildly intoxicated and you’re the only sober person in the room,” the co-founders described.ToiletFotoPaperGrafiska will be on view from May 10 through August 31, 2025.Fotografiska BerlinOranienburger Str. 54,10117 Berlin, GermanyClick here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
