Martin Parr. Early Works
In the organizer's words:
Martin Parr (*1952, Epsom, Surrey, UK) is one of the most important British documentary photographers and photojournalists. He became internationally renowned for his large-format, colorful photographs, which take a humorous look at British society. With his ironic and socially critical view of everyday situations, he has written photography history.
The exhibition Martin Parr. Early Works focuses on the MAGNUM photographer's early work and presents rarely shown black and white images. Bird club activities in Surrey, England, pilgrimages to the Pope in Ireland, vacation trips to the Scottish Highlands, provincial soccer matches and traditional village festivals are just some of the social activities that captured the interest of the young Martin Parr. Exaggeration and exaggeration - two key elements of his work - run like a red thread through the photographs.
The exhibition was curated by Celina Lunsford(Fotografie Forum Frankfurt) in close collaboration with the photographer and the Martin Parr Foundation.

The exhibition Martin Parr. Early Works focuses on the early work of the MAGNUM photographer and presents 75 rarely shown black and white images. Bird clubs in Surrey, pilgrimages to the Pope in Ireland, holiday trips to the Scottish Highlands, provincial football matches, and traditional village banquets are just some of the social events that grasped the young Martin Parr's attention. Exaggeration and emphasis - two key elements of his work - run like a thread through these photographs.
