Alex Prager — Jackie from Week-End
Alex Prager

Jackie from Week-End

A dramatically staged chromogenic print by Alex Prager, "Jackie" captures a lone woman frozen in a moment of cinematic tension amid a chaotic crowd scene. Prager's signature hyper-stylized aesthetic evokes the visual language of 1960s Hollywood and Technicolor film, bathing the composition in saturated, carefully orchestrated color. Flush-mounted to emphasize its polished, filmic surface, the work blurs the boundary between photography and constructed narrative.

Medium
Chromogenic print, flush-mounted.
