Maurizio Cattelan — Permanent Food
Maurizio Cattelan

Permanent Food

Maurizio Cattelan's *Permanent Food* is a magazine project conceived as an ongoing collaborative publication, assembled entirely from images clipped and appropriated from other magazines without permission or credit. The work functions as a visual archive of found imagery, reflecting Cattelan's characteristically subversive approach to authorship, ownership, and the circulation of images within consumer culture. Its deliberately ambiguous medium blurs the line between artwork and publication, challenging conventional definitions of artistic production.
