In Personal Ads, self-described ‘artist, author, inventor and juxtaposer’ Pippa Garner reimagines the most intimate corners of public life. Known for her signature satirical lens and razor-sharp critique of American consumer culture, Garner employs the format of personal ads to challenge norms of identity, desire, and social interaction. Featuring many never-before-seen photographs and editorial projects from the 1970s to the 1990s, this book captures Garner’s unique ability to turn the mundane into something unsettling and profound as she engages with fashion and skews familiar objects with absurdist designs (see her Heels on Wheels high-heeled skates), even considering her own body as a site to extend this practice of alteration with her gender transition. A revealing conversation with Garner and Luca Lo Pinto is included where the pair discuss Los Angeles, the art world and the artist's thoughts on ageing.
