Alex Prager Silver Lake Drive
알렉스 프레거(Alex Prager)는 독창적인 이미지 제작자 중 한 명입니다. 사진과 영화 사이에서 유동적으로 작업하면서 그녀는 할리우드와 실험 영화, 대중 문화 및 거리 사진을 포함한 광범위한 영향을 참조하는 정교한 장면을 만듭니다. 이 섬세하게 연출된 구성은 친숙하면서도 이상하고 완전히 매력적이며 틀림없이 기억에 남을 정지 이미지와 동영상 이미지의 뚜렷한 미학을 만들어냅니다.
Alex Prager is one of the truly original image makers of our time. Working fluidly between photography and film she creates elaborate scenes that reference a wide range of influences, including Hollywood and experimental cinema, popular culture and street photography. These delicately staged compositions produce a distinct aesthetic of still and moving images that are familiar yet strange, utterly compelling and unerringly memorable.
Silver Lake Drive is the first career retrospective of this rising star, one who has won both popular acclaim and the recognition of the art establishment. It summarizes Prager’s creative trajectory and offers an ideal introduction for the popular ‘breakout’ audience who may have only recently encountered her work. Structured around her project-oriented approach, Silver Lake Drive presents more than 120 images from her career to date: from the early Polyester and Big Valley series, through her first films and collaborations with the actor Bryce Dallas Howard, to the tour-de-force of Face in the Crowd – shot on a Hollywood sound stage with over 150 performers – and her 2016 commission for the Paris Opera, La Grande Sortie.
Supported by a major exhibition, and including an introduction by Michael Govan, Director of LACMA, essays by Clare Grafik of The Photographers’ Gallery and Michael Mansfield of the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, and an in-depth interview with Alex Prager by Nathalie Herschdorfer of the Museum of Fine Arts, Le Locle, Silver Lake Drive will be an essential publication for those who follow Prager’s career and all with an interest in and appreciation of contemporary art.
