Alex Prager Biography

Alex Prager is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on November 1, 1979 in Los Angeles, California, United States.

Prager began her photography practice after viewing an exhibition of William Eggleston’s at the Getty Museum which was on view between 1999-2000. Her staged color photographs are described by Ken Johnson as being influenced by Cindy Sherman, Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Douglas Sirk. MoMA curator Roxana Marcoci has 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.” Michael Govan the director of LACMA 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.”

In 2005, Prager created a group of works, The Book of Disquiet, as an exhibition and joint publication with artist Mercedes Helnwein. She began to gain more attention after exhibiting Polyester in 2007, which focused on what is now described as her signature cinematic styled portraits set in Los Angeles. Her next series, The Big Valley, was shown in 2008 at Michael Hoppen Gallery in London and in 2009 at Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York. In 2010 Prager exhibited Week-End at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles, Yancey Richardson Gallery and Michael Hoppen Gallery where she debuted her first short film, Despair alongside a group of photographs. Despair was conceived in London during The Big Valley Exhibition, where viewers were inquiring what happened before and after to the subjects in her photographic work. The film starring Bryce Dallas Howard was a full-sensory version of Prager’s photographs in motion, showing the before, now and after of one of her images. Her intention was to create pure, cinematic melodrama through the use of an array of artistic mediums – imagery, motion, color, sculpture, painting and sound.Prager’s Despair was included in Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition “New Photography 2010” where she was recognized as a notable emerging talent.
