ARCHIVIST NOTES:

Another year, another catalog — same stranger behind the lens. 1991, Benelux again. This one feels stranger, though. Maybe a little more tension in the setups. Some colored gels adding to the drama.

Isolated figures dance in and out of the text lockups that tell the story. Interesting departure from the previous booklets.

Translation in progress. Will add to file once completed.

Images scanned and archived.

Paul Panfalone

Paul Panfalone is a Cleveland, OH based artist and toy photographer. He spent his childhood dreaming up stories using action figures in the backyard of his home in East Aurora, NY, appropriately nicknamed “Toytown”. Now as an adult (sort of), he imagines new worlds with those same figures and lives their adventures through the lens of his camera, much like he did back home, over thirty years ago.
