    Juxtapoz Magazine – Play the Wind: A New Exhibition and Film by Alex Prager

    Alex Prager opens an exhibition of new work, including a new film, Play the Wind at Lehmann Maupin this week. Well established for her genre-defying approach to image making that timelessly combines eras, cultural references, and personal experiences, the photographs and the film debuted in this exhibition are a fresh reflection on Pragers place of origin, site of inspiration, and frequent character—the city of Los Angeles.

    Juxtapoz Magazine – A Look Into “Alex Prager: Silver Lake Drive”

    It’s often been said that Alex Prager’s photography work is cinematic in approach and content. There is the sense of a movie still from a classic Hollywood production, the kinds of films that aren’t made anymore, but are glorified in a way that defines the celluloid history of Los Angeles. Perhaps that is why a surreal quality seems to surround each photo, because it creates uncertainty about whether you are following a narrative, or witnessing a frozen, yet epic moment.

    Alex Prager’s Sunny Scenes of Los Angeles Noir – Feature Shoot

    Hailing from Los Angeles, Alex Prager is a true photograph-auter. Her cinematic sensibilities are perfectly at home in the single image, expertly making use of the imagination’s inimitable ability to construct fantastical narratives when provoked. With the eye of a director allowing a tale to unfold, Prager stages each photograph with the precision of a blockbuster Hollywood film.

    Alex Prager harnesses solar energy. Face her smile and feel it — sunshine at point blank range. Your eyes will continue working though, and for the better too, as it happens with her photography. That luminosity is inescapable. You’re not avoiding it anyway. You’re called to the siren song, despite the silence, for even the nocturnal pieces of Week-end kindle.

  • +KN | Kitsune Noir » Alex Prager

    alex-prager-1 1.jpg

    Last week my buddy Eric gave me a heads up about this photographer Alex Prager, so I checked out her site, and was totally stunned. ALex works in Los Angeles, shooting photos that are extremely retro in their styling, but modern in their execution. Imagine the set of The Birds, or an episode of The Wonder Years, but shot in this weird, almost Stepford Wives kind of way. It’s kind of like she crafted a bunch of personas from different pieces of characters in films and then photographed it. The colors are bright, but somewhat desaturated and definitely surreal.

    Check it out here.
