Alex Prager (born 1979) is an American artist, director, and screenwriter based in Los Angeles.
Prager is known for her uncanny and highly staged images and films that blur the line between artifice and reality.[1][2]
Early life
[edit]Prager was born in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1979. At age fourteen, she dropped out of school and traveled to Switzerland on her own, where she worked at a knife store in Lucerne. She returned to Switzerland frequently for longer periods of time and earned her G.E.D at sixteen.[3]
When she was twenty-one and living in Los Angeles, Prager was inspired to pursue photography after seeing an exhibition of William Eggleston’s photographs at the Getty Museum. She cites this as a formative experience: “I felt like I was struck blind by a vision and that was the path I was going to take for the rest of my life.” A self-taught artist, Prager avoided formal art education and instead purchased a Nikon N90s camera and printed photographs in a home darkroom. [3] [4]
Artwork
[edit]Prager’s work is characterized by distinctive mise-en-scène, ambiguous and open-ended narratives, highly staged scenes, unique characters, timeless costumes, and saturated colors.[5][6] Her work is notably influenced by golden-era period styles like film noir and Technicolor, mythology, and works by Dutch Renaissance painters.[4][7][8]
Prager uses symbolism, humor, allegory, and surreal elements, as well as formal and conceptual techniques, to evoke a psychological response and explore the human experience.[1] She has said that she approaches each project as a reflection of her personal questions and those of greater society.[9]
Employing traditional filmmaking techniques, effects, and large-scale productions, Prager often constructs complex scenes with elaborate characters and saturated, commonplace settings.[3] She uses costuming to define her characters and expand her narratives, pulling from her extensive wardrobe collection.[5]
During the pre-production process, Prager meticulously plans every element to allow for the unknown and chaos to unfold in a controlled environment. All elements of the images are practical and shot in-camera, and she has said “it’s important [to her] that you could theoretically touch anything you see in the frame.” [9]
Early Work
[edit]Prager’s early series, Polyester (2007), Big Valley (2008), and Week-End (2009), are defined by portraits featuring female protagonists against a Los Angeles backdrop. [10] [7]
Career
[edit]In 2008, Prager transitioned into filmmaking after her exhibition The Big Valley in London, a defining moment for the artist.[11]
Prager’s first short film, "Despair" (2010) starring Bryce Dallas Howard, was included in the New Photography 2010 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, alongside her photographs, which was a breakthrough in her career. [12] [4] The Curator of Photography at MoMA, Roxana Marcoci, described Prager’s work as "intentionally loaded", saying "it reminds me of silent movies— there is something pregnant, about to happen, a mix of desire and angst." [6]
In 2011, Kathy Ryan, Director of Photography for The New York Times Magazine commissioned Prager to shoot twelve 1-minute films inspired by "cinematic villainy" with film actors from that year. Prager won a News and Documentary Emmy Award for New Approaches to News & Documentary Programming: Arts, Lifestyle & Culture for her "Touch of Evil" short films.[13]
In her 2012 series of diptychs, Compulsion, Prager investigated the complexity of observation, compulsive spectatorship, and how the meanings of images are derived from a multiplicity of gazes. [7] [14] Alongside the series, Prager exhibited her short film "La Petite Mort" (2012) featuring French actress Judith Godrèche with narration by Gary Oldman. [2] The film was a "contemplation on death" and "a way for [her] to deal with the hopelessness [she] was feeling about the world. Creating a parallel universe where tragedies happen but with a sense of lightness as well."
In 2013, Prager’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States was presented at Washington D.C.'s Corcoran Gallery of Art. [15] Face in the Crowd, a series of highly staged images of crowds in various familiar settings, marked a distinctive shift in the artist’s practice. [16] [17] [18] The new body of work connected familiar themes in her artwork, but also explored the contemporary condition of the individual and the crowd and human connection versus isolation. [16] [19] The exhibition included photographic work and a three-channel installation of the film (2013), featuring Elizabeth Banks. [15]
The Paris Opera commissioned Prager in 2015 to create a film for 3e Scène, which coincided with her series of photographs, La Grande Sortie, exhibited at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. Portraying the perspectives of performer and audience, the photographic series and film consider the underlying tension in this relationship. The film (2016) was produced by Jeremey Dawson and features Émilie Cozette and Karl Paquette dancing to an adapted score by Nigel Godrich.[20] [21] [22]
In 2018, Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director of Photo Elysée, curated a major exhibition marking the first mid-career survey of Prager’s work. The exhibition traveled internationally to institutions including The Photographers' Gallery, Museum of Fine Arts Le Locle, Foam Fotografiemuseum, Fotografiska, Stockholm, among others.[23] [24]
In 2019, Prager completed and exhibited "Play the Wind" (2019), her most autobiographical body of work to date which consisted of photographs and short film with Dimitri Chamblas and Riley Keough. The work is an homage to and reflection on the city of Los Angeles, Prager’s hometown and a frequent source of inspiration throughout her career. [25] [26] [27] [3]
Prager’s work has been exhibited in numerous museum exhibitions globally, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York[18]; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.[15]; The National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia[28]; Fotografiska, Stockholm, Sweden[29]; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA[30], among others.
Recent Work
[edit]Prager returned to portraiture in 2021 with Part One: The Mountain. Inspired to examine the complicated emotional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Prager created a more simple and intimate series of Americana portraits capturing her fictional subjects in the midst of intense inner turmoil.[31] [32] [33]
Continuing to explore the anxiety and responses of living through uncertain times, Prager followed with a new short film starring Katherine Waterson and an accompanying series of images for Part Two: Run in 2022. The film, titled "Run" (2022), features the unfolding chaos of gigantic silver ball barreling through a small town to a soundtrack by Ellen Reid and Philip Glass. [34] [35]
Film
[edit]Prager's films are often psychological thrillers touching on horror and characterized by depictions of isolation, fear, artifice, and the need for connection. [21] [34] Humor, entwined with the unsettling elements, plays an important role in her film work. [30]
She is noted for her regular collaborations with award-winning cinematographer Matthew Libatique and has collaborated with actors Cate Blanchett, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Banks, Gary Oldman, Riley Keough, Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain, George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Kirsten Dunst, Glenn Close, Rooney Mara, and Viola Davis, among others.
Prager’s short film "Face in the Crowd" (2013) screened at the New Directors/New Films festival at Lincoln Center and MoMA in 2014.[36]
Her most recent short film, "Run" (2022), premiered at the Santa Barbara Film Festival and was nominated for the 2023 SXSW Grand Jury Award.[37] [38]
In 2023, she was named one of the "25 New Faces of Independent Film" by Filmmaker Magazine.[39]
Prager is currently working on her debut feature film, DreamQuil, a cautionary tale about identity, automation, and humanity set in the near distant future. Prager co-wrote the film with her sister, Vanessa Prager, and it is set to star Elizabeth Banks and John C. Reilly.[40]
Commercial Work
[edit]Prager has been commissioned to shoot features and campaigns by luxury brands and prominent publications such as Vogue, New York Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, W Magazine, Garage, Bottega Veneta, Dior, Hermés, Tiffany, and Lavazza.
She has also been sought-after to direct commercials for several prominent international brands including Apple, Hermés, Miller, Anheuser-Busch, Vimeo, and most recently, Cartier, featuring Elle Fanning, in 2023.[41]
Reception
[edit]Prager's work is often discussed in connection to Los Angeles.[3]
Michael Govan, the director of Los Angeles County Museum of Art has said that
Prager's photographic and filmic compositions, like Eggleston's photographs, Alfred Hitchcock's films, and Edward Hopper's paintings, reveal the extraordinary lurking within the ordinary. Wreaking havoc with our involuntary voyeurism and our tendency to leap to conclusions about people's characters based on the merest details of their appearances, Prager cues our own fantasies by representing her own. [5]
Emily Witt, a journalist and staff writer for the New Yorker, wrote “Prager does for photography what James Ellroy did for crime fiction , inventing a neo-noir L.A. vernacular that creates a feeling of the past without the limitations of historical accuracy.” [3] Michael Mansfield, the former Curator for Film and Media Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, regarded:
Prager belongs to a generation of contemporary artists who fully own their media. She wields a camera and a director’s chair with equal strength, and creates both motion pictures and photographs in full view of their commercial influences and the complex politics of art-house avant-garde cinema. [2]
Crowd Photographs
[edit]Prager's crowd photographs are among her most well-known and lauded. [8] [35]
Art historian and curator William J Simmons wrote
We might then connect Prager’s crowds to democratic studies of class and labor, like August Sander’s Face of our Time (1929) and Irving Penn’s Small Trades (1950–51) . . . Prager’s contemporary crowds, filled with markers of class, gender, occupation, and privilege (or lack thereof), absorb and require us to consider the very real ramifications of collectivity and estrangement.[42]
Michael Govan recounted
I first encountered an Alex Prager Face in the Crowd picture with a double take, being quickly drawn in by the beguiling strangeness of it all. The picture’s colours seemed too vivid. The figures – with their intentional facial expressions and clothes worn like costumes, implying a not-quite-recent past – suggested many hyper-specific individual narratives. And the gazes of these disconnected characters within a crowd were rarely directed to others; rather they sent my own gaze darting across the composition as if scanning the surface of an Abstract Expressionist painting. [5]
