About this work

This image shows a plain white background. In the middle sits a small black-and-white photo. It looks like a urinal tipped on its side. The photo is framed by a thin white border. The title "Fountain" is printed below it in simple letters. The whole thing feels very plain and a little odd. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more work like this.

Alastair MacKinven

Alastair MacKinven has a habit of making prints that feel like someone’s dry joke—small, sharp, and a little mean.
