The talk will give us an insight into his unique photographic style and approach to story telling through his signature aesthetic and approach. The event will feature a Q+A session with audience members, offering a unique opportunity to pose questions and engage in discussion.
“Martin Parr’s photographs can make us feel very uncomfortable. He has made a comedy about the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the places we go; scrutinized the very way we live our lives. Some might say that Martin Parr has exploited our lack of taste and good judgment by picturing it all, latterly in the brightest of colours, exposing our petty vanities to the world.”
