Aperture The Chinese Photobook: From the 1900s to the
Book SynopsisNewly revised histories of photography as recorded via the photobook have added enormously to our understanding of the medium’s culture, particularly in places that are often marginalized, such as Latin America and Africa. However, until now, only a handful of Chinese books have made it onto historians’ short lists. Yet China has a fascinating history of photobook publishing, and The Chinese Photobook reveals for the first time the richness and diversity of this heritage. This now available in a smaller size, more accessibly priced hardcover edition, volume is based on a collection compiled by Martin Parr and Beijing- and London-based Dutch photographer team WassinkLundgren. And while the collection was inspired initially by Parr’s interest in propaganda books and in finding key works of socialist realist photography from the early days of the Communist Party and the Cultural Revolution era, the selection of books includes key volumes published as early as 1900, as well as contemporary volumes by emerging Chinese photographers.

Thames & Hudson Ltd Another Country
Book SynopsisA compelling social and cultural history of Britain since the Second World War, showing how photographers have depicted the country over the last seventy years. Another Country offers a lively, vital rethinking of British documentary photography over the last seven decades. This collection includes a diverse range of photographers working in an exciting array of photographic and artistic modes, encompassing images from iconic reportage to photo-text pieces, from self-portraits to political photo-collages. As Britain takes an increasingly significant place in the history of documentary photography, award-winning photography writer and critic Gerry Badger brings vital context and breadth to the conversation. Organized chronologically, each chapter spans a particular period of social and cultural history, focusing on the major photographers, figures, institutions, publications and galleries that shaped the photographic climate of their time, as well as the broader tastes of thTrade Review'Lavishly illustrated' - Aesthetica'In 'Another Country', Badger collates some of the most significant British documentary works, among them Howard Grey’s 1060s portraits of the Windrush generation arriving in Britain, Philip Jones Griffiths’ 1970s reportage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and Martin Parr’s shots of holidaymakers at the seaside in Merseyside in the 1980s' - Sunday Times'Curated by photographer, writer and critic Gerry Badger, the book seeks to find Britain through photography, rather than attaching images to a previously established narrative. This approach makes space for voices from every corner of society, and Badger invites James Barnor to detail the African diaspora’s experiences in London in the 1960s, Sunil Gupta to reveal the realities of the gay community in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and Sara Davidmann to narrate the lives of queer, transgender, and non-binary individuals in the early 00s. Photographers both inside and outside communities have important insights to make' - Another Magazine'A striking overview of how British society has been represented over the past seven decades' - Financial Times'A fascinating and moving volume' - The Lady'Extravagantly illustrated… Badger gives a clear account of the shifts in documentary photography as an art form in Britain from 1945 to the present days, but it is the social, cultural and political climate of each decade that has been the biggest impetus for change, and it is these important contexts that Badger conveys so concisely and well, showing how they helped to shape a new generation of documentary photographers, intent on recording life and death in a creative way' - The Art Newspaper'Badger knows this territory inside out. He is in some ways the best person to turn the complex artistic, commercial and institutional histories of British photography into a coffee-table precis. He knows which provincial gallery, fractious collective, short-lived magazine or maverick snapper mattered at any given moment' - Literary Review'A lively rethinking of British documentary photography over the last seven decades' - Guardian'An important book … Gerry Badger has created an ontology of British photography that will feed a thousand conversations … An insightful guide to the multi-layered complexity that is the British photographic body … will be consulted by scholars for decades to come' - Alex Schneiderman, Black & White Photography'Superb' - Amateur Photographer'Hugely evocative ... a rich anthology of foggy streets, dingy but jolly pubs, teddy boys, swinging 1960s revellers, top-hatted stockbrokers and so on up to the present' - Martin Gayford, The Spectator'Exhilarating...

Steidl Publishers The Protest Box
Book SynopsisMartin Parr’s collection of photobooks is one of the finest to have ever been assembled and The Protest Box is a box set which brings together five books from that collection as facsimile reprints. Parr has selected diverse books which each deal with the subject of protest in quite different ways. From the documentation of various protest movements to the actual book being a form of protest, all these reprints are gems within the history of photographic publishing. A few are known but many are new, even to the connoisseur of photography books. All these books are virtually impossible to locate, so these reprints will make a substantial contribution to our understanding of this sub-genre of the photobook. The box set is accompanied by a booklet which includes an introduction by Martin Parr, an essay discussing the wider context of these books by Gerry Badger, and English translations of all the texts in the books. Enrique Bostelmann América: un Viaje a traves de la injustica First published in 1970 by Siglo XXI Editores, Mexico City; Bostelmann, a Mexican photographer, journeyed through Latin America looking for examples of injustice, such as the exploitation of indigenous Indians who were forced into factories and menial jobs. Paolo Gasparini Para verte major, América Latina First published in 1972 by Siglo XXI Editores, Mexico City; Gasparini, an Italian born photographer who has lived in Caracas most of his life, traversed Latin America to document the contrast between communism and capitalism. The book also documents and uses graffiti and graphics to emphasis his polemic. Dirk Alvermann Algeria First published in 1961 in Berlin, GDR; Alvermann, a photographer originally born in West Germany, published his book about both sides of the Algerian conflict in East Berlin. The radical design was inspired by Russian film stills. Kitai Kazuo Sanrizuka First published in 1971 by Nora-Sha, Tokyo; a classic protest book which shows the huge popular uprising inspired by the proposed building of Narita airport. Paolo Mattioli and Anna Candiani Immagini del No First published in 1974 by Occhio Magico No 11, Milan; this small format book documented various protests in Italy, from the Feminist Movement to Anti-Fascism marches.

Damiani Martin Parr: From the Pope to a Flat White
Book SynopsisThis special edition limited to 70 copies includes the book and one gelatin silver print signed and numbered by Parr. The picture is titled Glenbeigh Races, County Kerry, 1983. The print measures 20.0 x 29.0cm Martin Parr has been taking photographs in Ireland for 40 years. His work covers many of the most significant moments in Ireland’s recent history, encompassing the Pope’s visit in 1979, when a third of the country’s population attended Mass in Knock and Phoenix Park in Dublin, as well as gay weddings and start-up companies in 2019. It is difficult to think of country that has changed so dramatically in this relatively short space of time. Parr lived in the West of Ireland between 1980-82. He photographed traditional aspects of rural life such as horse fairs and dances, but also looked at the first hint of Ireland’s new wealth in the shape of the bungalows that were springing up everywhere, replacing more traditional dwellings. During subsequent trips to Ireland he explored the new estates around Dublin and the introduction of the first drive-through McDonald’s. Parr also looked at the North and documented how, after the Good Friday agreement, the Troubles became the focus of a new tourist boom. The final chapter of this book portrays a contemporary Dublin where start-up companies are thriving, the docks area is being gentrified and where icons of wealth and modernity – such as the flat white – can be everywhere. Ireland has also now voted to allow both abortion and gay weddings, developments that would have been unthinkable 40 years ago. The book includes an introduction by the acclaimed journalist Fintan O’Toole.

Oxford University Press Oxford
Book SynopsisMartin Parr, one of Britain''s best-known contemporary photographers, and President of Magnum, the world-famous photographic agency has undertaken a photo-documentary book project. Oxford is a collection of around 100 photographs documenting an academic year in the life of the university. They capture the day-to-day life of the colleges and University at work and play, and the colourful and arcane rituals that make it so distinctive. His photographs are accompanied by an extended afterword that draws on, and enriches, the photographic material and penned by Simon Winchester, OBE, the British writer, journalist and broadcaster. The very first photo-documentary of Oxford was created by William Henry Fox Talbot. A century and a half later, Martin Parr''s new project pays tribute to the great the pioneer of photography, and coincides with the Bodleian Library''s bid to secure his personal archive.Trade ReviewThere are more than 100 photographs which together evoke a strong sense of place and the ordinariness of the people inhabiting it. * Katie Law, Evening Standard *In Oxford the celebrated photographer Martin Parr has gathered a set of 118 plates of Oxford scenes and characters, accompanied by a reminiscence of student life in the 1960s by Simon Winchester, and beautifully published by Oxford University Press... eye-catching and stimulating. * Revd. Dr. Martin Wellings, Methodist Recorder Vol.17 *Martin Parr's star has never been higher. * Geoff Harris, Amateur Photographer *Parr is often accused of mocking his subject matter, but while containing the occasional quirk, this is a largely straight documentation of a subject that already happily embraces moments of absurdity with great seriousness. * Eliza Williams, Creative Review *

Phaidon Press Ltd Real Food
Book SynopsisA fun collection of Martin Parr's food pictures, which documents the simple notion that 'we are what we eat'Trade Review"[U]nflinching, sardonic, edgy... direct, sometimes harsh and almost always funny." —Washington Post Online"Martin Parr's glorious photos of bad food won’t make you hungry. They might even nauseate you. But you won't be able to look away. His new book, with the wry title Real Food, is gut-busting celebration of everything your mother would never let you eat." —Wired Online"Martin Parr's Real Food is an eye-opening and excellent commentary on the world of food photography." —The Phoblographer"There is still a silent majority in this country who favour a Jammie Dodger over a chia seed pudding, thanks very much." —The Guardian"It’s a gastronomic joy to flick through the saturated pages and the photographer’s images have been deliciously paired together, creating a dialogue within the wordless book." —Itsnicethat.com"Garish and outlandish, refined and processed grub shot over the past 25 years." —Jocks and Nerds"Martin's foodie photographs are a bit less flattering - and much more revealing." —TheSun.co.uk"It's a lot less glamorous than what you might see on Instagram." —BusinessInsider.com"It might not have you smacking your lips as much as a flick through Nigella’s latest, but we can all agree that is certainly more fun." —Refinery29"Food is [Parr's] focus here and it’s a good subject on which he can go full-Parr." —Monocle"Tired of food photos on Instagram? Take a look at these real pics from a master photographer." —The Indian Express"You can keep your smashed avocados on artisanal bread, photographer Martin Parr’s new book pays tribute to real food." —Esquire"This book is by turns sweet and sardonic with a must-read forward by chef Fergus Henderson." —Delicious"A terrific introduction from St John’s Fergus Henderson." —Observer Food Monthly"This is a book I devoured." —Bloomberg.com"Irrepressibly naughty and tongue-in-cheek." —Somethingaboutmagazine.com"Martin Parr's hard-flashed, bright and colorful but totally inedible food photos... Keep you coming back for seconds." —Bon Appetit"Martin Parr’s collection of food snapshots shows off his uncanny ability to mix pleasure and horror." —CityLab"Parr celebrates a democratic kind of authenticity in food." —PDN"Everyday meals are transformed into witty photographs." —Red"You'll never look at a hot dog the same way again." —AnOthermag.com"Garish and at times gross, the saturated shots portray cuisine in a fashion only Martin can accomplish." —ItsNiceThat.com"A kaleidoscopic view [...] hotdogs, buns, pies, you name it... It’s appropriate to treat the book as documentary project... It fits perfectly into Parr’s habit of finding the everyday items of a culture that speak volumes about the politics and culture surrounding them."—Amateur Photographer

Demeter Press Writing Mothers: Narrative Acts of Care,
Book SynopsisThe story of motherhood is told through many voices and in many contexts. When honoured with the task of composing a collective story from our authors’ experiences, we gestured toward the function and power of story to transform. The collection is organized in three movements that mirror the interdependent narrative acts of reflecting, re-imagining, and re-writing. By reflecting, we refer to conscious engagement with experience that makes meaningful connections between past, present, and potential futures, provides context for who we understand ourselves to be, and guides our awareness of the narratives shaping our lives. Only after we become conscious of tired narratives and ontological frameworks that no longer serve, can we be free to re-imagine our experiences: to re-create and reconstruct the very foundations of meaning on which the emplotment of our lives is based. Finally, by re-imagining, we create opportunities to re-write all dimensions of experience (temporal, personal, and cultural) in ways that reclaim and redeem the narrative composition of our lives. When these narrative acts are engaged, we write alternate realities and open futures into existence. Each narrative act is illustrated in the collection by stories that most exemplify its function and power. Stories in the first movement, demonstrate authors’ engagement with the process of reflecting through memory and over time to make sense of experience, in particular, the reality of change and trauma. In the second movement, the act of re-imagining is illustrated as writers challenge limited definitions of care and explore futures beyond convention. Finally, the third movement is dedicated to the act of re-writing in which our authors demonstrate how changes in perspective, and faith in possibility, can be written into our being in ways that transform both the meaning of experience and the evolution of self. As editors, we embarked upon this journey seeking answers, but we have come to realize that open questions and ongoing dialogue create the possibility for open futures. Our stories—those lived, those told, and those yet to be written—engage us in a quest to reclaim, to restore, and to transform our personal and social mothering spaces, leading us toward liberating social, cultural, and institutional narratives.
