I AM MARTIN PARR
Icon. Artist. Disruptor. I Am Martin Parr celebrates the eccentric world of legendary photographer Martin Parr. Join this maverick on an intimate road trip across England in a heartwarming portrait of his life and art! Since the 1970s‚ Martin Parr has fearlessly held out his unique photographic mirror and given us some of the most extraordinary and unique visual clichés of modern times. Sometimes serious‚ often absurd but always playful‚ his insightful and often acrid commentary on consumer society has always been a subject of controversy and discussion. Lee Shulman’s engaging, highly entertaining film explores Parr’s humanist and uniquely accessible photographic language. British photographer Marin Parr’s images have the power to both amuse and leave us ever so slightly uncomfortable, caught between laughter and the uneasy recognition of ourselves in his uncompromising portrait of consumer society. Though now celebrated and exhibited worldwide, Parr’s early work did not find an easy public and was highly criticised for trivialising the working class. In retrospect, perhaps he was just observing what we often overlook. I Am Martin Parr is a definitive portrait of an extraordinary photographer who revolutionised contemporary photography by inventing a political, humanist and accessible photographic language.DocumentaryPT1H8M12A2025-02-21Martin Parr
