Couverture souple. Condizione: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2012. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf Broché cousu. Format 26 x 20 cm ( 488 gr ) -------- 144 pages. ******************* "" L'intérêt de Martin Parr pour la photographie se manifeste dès l'enfance, encouragé par son grand-père George Parr, lui-même photographe amateur accompli. Au début des années 1980, ses images s'attachent à présenter le mode de vie de l'Anglais moyen, miroirs du déclin social et moral de la classe ouvrière sous Margaret Thatcher. Il acquiert une renommée internationale pour son approche indirecte du documentaire social et son imagerie innovante, puis devient membre à part entière de Magnum Photos en 1994, loin des multiples controverses suscitées par son style photographique provocateur. Selon Martin Parr, le quotidien est imbu d'une atrophie morale et d'une absurdité telles que le seul moyen de s'en accommoder est d'acquérir un certain sens de l'humour. La banalité, l'ennui et le vide de sens inhérents aux temps modernes sont au centre de son travail. La thématique du tourisme, choisie par Martin Parr pour guider ce portfolio, traduit ces préoccupations et donne à voir, avec l'humour qui caractérise son travail, notre modernité dans toute son absurdité.
