It’s the latest body of work to come from the cute & quirky LA photographer Alex Prager. Week-End is a collection of photographs inspired by the “high drama of classic movies.” This final exhibit is the culmination of a trilogy of work, which began with “girls playing archetypal roles in Polyester” and then evolved into The Big Valley, where those roles began to take on lives of their own. And now with Week-End, “the facade becomes so thick that the illusion is now more real than the world they actually live in.”
