Lampoon Magazine Maurizio Cattelan, Art isn't a detergent. It doesn't clean, it stains. Lampoon Soap issue 32 2025

Description

A striking black-and-white editorial portrait featuring artist Maurizio Cattelan lying flat on his back facing upward against a pitch-black background. Suspended water droplets splash dramatically over his nose and forehead, caught in sharp focus by high-speed photography. Direct, dramatic low-key lighting highlights the texture of his wet skin, grey hair, and dark collar, casting deep chiaroscuro shadows across the scene. Photographed by Alberto Zanetti for Lampoon Magazine's Soap issue 32.
