Low Life Slow Life presents a diverse range of artists and artworks related to Paul McCarthy's memories of his own career. His selections are eclectic and unconventional, deriving more from his personal recollections than from any historical, objective measure of artistic influence. Packaged as a recreation of a vintage of Tide detergent, the book showcases a vast range of works that have influenced McCarthy’s career, presenting a personal map of his individual art history and philosophy.
For our Collector’s Edition Paul McCarthy has re-worked a photograph of an icon of American commercialism: Mickey Mouse waving happily in front of Cinderella’s castle at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. In his work, the man-size cartoon character, played by an actor in a costume, is shown in front of a deep black background — the artist has erased, blotted out, eradicated the plastic amusement park.

Für unsere Collector’s Edition hat Paul McCarthy ein Fotoikone des kommerziellen Amerika überarbeitet: Mickey Mouse fröhlich winkend vor Cinderellas Schloss im Magic Kingdom in Orlando. In seiner Arbeit winkt die mannshohe, von einem Schauspieler dargestellte Comicfigur vor tiefschwarzem Hintergrund – der Plastik-Vergnügungspark wurde vom Künstler getilgt, geschwärzt, ausradiert.
