Description

Small World by Martin Parr is a biting satire that explores tourism worldwide. With over 80 photographs, this revised and extended edition features many of Parr's most iconic images, offering a commentary on the increasingly homogenous 'global culture' where traditional cultures are destroyed in the search for novelty. In a world marked by consumerism and global warming, Parr's work shines a light on the complexities of modern travel. His larger-than-life troupe of tourists appear both willing participants and bemused victims of the omnipresent consumer culture, locked into their insatiable craving for spectacle. This edition is a must-have for anyone interested in photography and cultural commentary. Martin Parr is a renowned photographer with a long list of published works, exhibited and published worldwide.
