Meet the Artist: Martin Parr - Photobiography

October 17, 2012, 7 - 8:30pm

Acclaimed British photographer Martin Parr has captivated an international audience with his satirical focus on the eccentricities of modern life. His photography chronicles the familiar and intimate episodes of everyday existence, exposing the inherent peculiarity and humour of our daily routine. Through this unique perspective – evident in the more than 50 books he has published – Parr ultimately asks the viewer to critically look at the world around them and their role within it.

In this talk Martin Parr will discuss his long career as a photographer and more recently as an editor and curator.
