Martin Parr loves to take photos of the most mundane subjects, where he magically transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Parr is best known for his long-term documentary photographic projects.
Parr has managed to publish some 40 solo photobooks.
this is a great doco..I’ve seen it a few times now..going to watch it again tonight. That is a weird place that New Brighton…the crap on the beach!! Really interesting project though. Caused so much angst amongst the “Art” people haha. Fascinating his hoarding too…so much interesting stuff. Warhol was the same though on a MUCH bigger scale…seven stories of stuff!!
I love his project work. Not many people do that type of long-term work anymore.
