Alex Prager — Sophie from Week-End
Alex Prager

Sophie from Week-End

Sophie from Week-End is a striking chromogenic print by American photographer and filmmaker Alex Prager, known for her cinematic, highly staged tableaux that evoke the golden age of Hollywood and mid-century American culture. The flush-mounted print captures a solitary female figure rendered with Prager's signature vivid color palette and meticulous attention to theatrical lighting, costuming, and psychological tension. The work exemplifies her ongoing exploration of identity, emotion, and the performative nature of everyday life, drawing the viewer into a carefully constructed narrative that feels simultaneously familiar and deeply unsettling.
