Adorned with wigs and dressed in seventies retro glamour, the characters of the photographs of Alex Prager explore American youth and pop culture in cinematic series that appear to have stepped straight off a 1950's film set. The women are staged in neon Californian landscapes, which gives a result of timeless, eerie and compelling images. "I am documenting a world that exists and doesn't exist at the same time." thus Alex Prager.
The Michael Hoppen Contemporary Gallery in London presents the most recent work, called Week End, by the rising American photographer till July 7th. Also her first move into film with Despair, a film written by Prager and directed by Requiem for a Dream's Matthew Libatique, is shown at the gallery.
