Which must be great, if you like fashion and textiles. I&#8217;m not a huge fan. But, as I was passing, I thought that I would pop in, ignore the crowds and go and see the somewhat lower key exhibition of photographer Alex Prager.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Prager is a self-taught photographer (and filmmaker), which raises her in my estimation straight away. Her large, staged and vividly colourful photographs, containing people often wearing wigs and retro fashion, feature filmic references within\u00a0hyperreal scenes. An interesting, if small-scale, show.<\/p>\n<p>A good start to the new year.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of going to see Jean Paul Gaultier&#8217;s show, I saw photography exhibition of Alex Prager&#8217;s work.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exhibitions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1939"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1942,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1939\/revisions\/1942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crunchyspaces.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
