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

Description

An ornate crimson and black patterned oriental rug is folded back at the corner to expose a dense accumulation of grey dust, lint, and debris hidden underneath. Tucked within the collected detritus is a small black-and-white photograph depicting a group of people. The composition rests upon a neutral, raw concrete floor, capturing a literal interpretation of sweeping dirt under the carpet. The high-angle view and balanced soft lighting emphasize the tactile contrast between the rich textile weave and the rough household debris.
