For over 50 years Martin Parr has photographed the absurdities of the contemporary world, from the frenzy of over-consumption to humanity s increasing reliance on technology, and our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.
By turns critical, satirical, surprising, and funny, Global Warning is richly illustrated with more than 175 of his photographs, from his early black-and-white work in the raucous holiday parks and sleepy supermarkets of rural England to his more recent color photography of bustling tourist attractions and must-see destinations from across the globe, important topics that seem immediately relevant to our everyday lives.
Showcasing many of Parr s most renowned images alongside rarely published hidden gems, this book presents more than five decades of incisive visual commentary from one of the world s most celebrated photographers.
