Multimedia artist Alex Israel has launched his first collaboration with Pace Prints, releasing a new suite of 10 archival pigment prints titled 'Where Is My Mind?' The series, part of his ongoing Self Portrait project, features intimate-scale works that incorporate representational imagery within his signature silhouette—ranging from the Hollywood Bowl stage to aerial views of Los Angeles and a California desert scene with an iPhone outline. Each print began as a photograph, translated into paint by the Scenic Art department at Warner Brothers Studio, then scanned and mounted in custom frames. The show coincides with Pace Prints' upcoming expansion into Los Angeles in fall 2026.
This collaboration matters because it marks a significant evolution in Israel's practice, moving from large-scale fiberglass panels to more intimate print editions while maintaining his exploration of identity, self-branding, and Los Angeles culture. Israel's work has become emblematic of the intersection between Hollywood fantasy and lived reality, and his partnerships with luxury brands like Rimowa and Louis Vuitton, along with his role as a Wallpaper* Design Awards judge, underscore his influence across art, design, and popular culture. The new series also reflects contemporary concerns about how identity is constructed and circulated in a networked, AI-influenced world.
