“Toilet-paper-head” is a publication made in continuation of the film with the same name made by Alireza Abbasy for Fictioning Comfort. The narrative of the film departed from thinking about the madness around toilet paper hoarding before Covid crisis hit the Western world. It thinks about ‘tolerance’ and ‘civilisation’ in the context of crises, and through a fictional story dismantles global power relations implied in ‘peace’ and ‘First-world’ / ‘Third-world’ hierarchies. It imagines a city full of creatures with human bodies and heads of toilet paper who go to work, read, dance, play football, meet up with their friends, etc. The publication here is a starting point in expanding that fictional world, its narratives, and characters. The publication is a book of character descriptions for the Toilet-paper-head world. It is an illustrated book that includes detailed descriptions of toilet-paper characters.
