As a material for their photo collages and installations the French artists Elise Mazac and Robert Drowilal, known as the art duo Mazaccio and Drowilal, use popular images of contemporary culture that are intentionally torn from their usual context. With the help of diverse techniques, deliberately bright colors, and irony, the artists transform these images and question the conventional principles of artistic photography. The book "Paparazzi" is putting together celebrities photographs stolen by paparazzi rearranging in the book form through different collage, working on typography, colours and shapes accompanied by explicit titles "The Beach", "Bike Riding", "Surfing". By juxtaposing heterogeneous and often contradictory shots and blurring the boundaries between natural and artificial, Mazaccio and Drowilal provoke the viewer, who is doomed to balance on the verge of disgust and pleasure when confronted by the authors' extraordinary artistic experiment.

About this title

Synopsis

To realise their photo collages and installations, artist duo Elise Mazaccio and Robert Drowilal draw from popular images of contemporary culture, intentionally torn from their usual context. By using diverse techniques, deliberately bright colours, and irony, the two French artists transform these images and question the conventional principles of artistic photography. ‘Paparazzi’ takes its subject matter from its namesake: stolen snapshots of celebrities. Juxtaposing heterogenous and often contradictory images and blurring the boundaries between natural and artificial, Mazaccio & Drowilal at once provoke and doom the viewer in an extraordinary artistic experiment.
