2-TIMES • Art
Alex Prager,
‘Play the Wind’
@ Lehmann Maupin
—
“Depicted from the
vantage point of
driving in the city,
Prager cultivates
a surreal sentiment
of passing moments
that feel like a
fabricated memory
or a dream...”
Born:
1979, Los Angeles.
‘Play the Wind’:
The photographs and
film presented in this
exhibition are a fresh
reflection on Prager’s
place of origin, site of
inspiration, and frequent
character—the city of
Los Angeles.
—
“Prager’s perception
of Los Angeles is one
of the artifice and drama
befitting Hollywood,
with real world chaos
that overflows into sci-fi
dystopia and post-
apocalyptic dread”.
