This exhibition offers a fresh look at Martin Parr’s work in light of the widespread disorder of our time, through various series created from the late 1970s to the present day. For fifty years, without activism but with unwavering consistency, across the globe, Martin Parr has painted a striking portrait of the planet’s imbalances and the excesses of our lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I create entertainment, which contains a serious message if you’re willing to read it, but I’m not trying to convince anyone\u2014 I’m simply showing what people already think they know,” Martin Parr said in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through his numerous series, which began in the British Isles and Ireland and then expanded to all five continents in the 1990s, recurring themes emerged: the excesses and ravages of mass tourism, the dominance of the car, technological dependencies, consumer frenzy, and our ambivalent relationship with the living world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always with his unique and unconventional perspective, Parr indirectly addressed several major identified causes of the Anthropocene’s climate upheavals: the rampant use of transportation, the consumption of fossil fuels, global overconsumption, and environmental damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seemingly lighthearted work, with time and evolving attitudes, revealed itself to be perhaps more serious than it initially appeared. In retrospect, its biting irony seemed to place it within a certain British satirical tradition: incisive humor, a bittersweet mockery, serving a critical, indirect yet profound perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some 180 works spanning more than fifty years of production, from his early black and white pieces to recent works, the exhibition, in five sections, explores our contemporary follies through recurring themes, motifs, and obsessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
