Alex Prager contact

A few months ago I got in contact with Alex Prager's assistant Lia to ask her a few questions about Alex's photographic process. She was most helpful and linked me to several interviews that alex has done in the past.
One of the more informative and interesting links she sent me was this one.

In this interview Alex describes her process as a snap decision she made when she was 20. Some more interesting parts of her process was when she was figuring out what she liked to create and what her audience liked her to create. She would hang picture in her laundry room in her apartment building, go back a day later and see which images were gone. By doing this she could see which images were received better by the public. I think this is such a fantastic idea for a pop up exhibition as not only does it help figure out which images are more successful but its a simple way to gain exposure.

Alex explains that she uses colour to gain  peoples attention and then has them discover something underneath that is not as cheery. This is extremely relevant to my own work as this is exactly what I try to do. Gain peoples attention with a glamorous aesthetic and then have them discover the melancholy underneath.
