This work is part of Prager's Compulsion series. Inspired by the photography of Weegee and Enrique Metinides and films such as 'Metropolis' and 'Un Chien Andalou', Compulsion confirms Prager’s vivid cinematic aesthetic. Unlike her other work, however, here the protagonists remain anonymous and distant. Prager’s series investigates the complexity of observation within a society inundated by compulsive spectators, as well as the recurrent discourse in photography — that “meaning” is often derived from a multiplicity of gazes.
