Be transported into a quirky and hyperreal universe at the iconic creative studio and image-based magazine’s largest exhibition ever.
The creative studio and image-based magazine’s largest exhibition ever, ‘Run As Slow As You Can’ is an expansive presentation of their surreal and oversaturated universe.
Step into the magical world of hyperrealist, absurdist installations and images with this extraordinary exhibition by TOILETPAPER. The creative studio and image-based magazine are led by pathbreaking Italian contemporary artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari.
The power duo’s exhibits are known for conjuring pop-culture inspired parallel universes of edgy, provocative visuals that investigate our current reality of hyper consumption, making us question the way in which we engage with an increasingly virtual world, incessantly drowned in visual stimulation.
Maurizio Cattelan & Pierpaolo Ferrari
Maurizio is an artist known internationally for his mix of genius and irreverence and is one of the most popular Italian artists in the world. His works emphasise the paradoxes of society and reflect on cultural scenarios with depth and acumen.
Pierpaolo is an Italian photographer, born and raised in Milan. His vision is instantly recognisable by his colourful surrealism, which he accredits to the style of his early mentors.

Details about the Exhibition:
Curated by Mafalda Millies and Roya Sachs (TRIADIC) with Elizabeth Edelman (TRIADIC) as the executive producer, ‘RUN AS SLOW AS YOU CAN’ is TOILETPAPER’s largest exhibition till date. It mulls over the daily dualities of modern existence with four distinct chapters, using photography, design and architecture to take a closer, critical look at the homes we inhabit, the objects we own, and the people that surround us – all with a delicious dose of irony! Besides offering food for thought, the set-up brings you a whole lot of Insta-worthy frames with crazy pops of colour and fascinating elements.
Chapter 1
Spread out across four floors of Art House – the Centre’s dedicated visual arts space – the first chapter of the exhibit, ‘Take a Left, Right?’, invites you into a photomontage maze. Walking through the labyrinth, you will navigate some crucial choices of left or right turns as graphic themes of desire, repulsion, irony and gluttony vie for your attention along the way.
Chapter 2
Enter a deeper subconscious as you make your way up to the second floor and into the second chapter. ‘Is There Room in the Sky?’ is filled with optical illusions that warp your perception of space and time.
Chapter 3
As your sense of reality continues to blur, the third chapter, ‘A House Is a Building That People Live In’ interrupts the concept of the ‘perfect home’ with deliberate misalignments like a home without a roof, a swimming pool filled with bananas and other topsy-turvy household utilities with no apparent function.
Chapter 4
‘The Control Room’, the culminating chapter of the exhibit, is a Lynchian monochromatic space sprinkled with archival objects, images and works from the studio’s HQ in Milan – leading you into a fuller conceptual understanding of the journey so far.
The one-of-its-kind exhibition is inhabited and defined solely by the audience. It is up to you to decide - in an overdosed contemporary society, how slowly can you run?
