The exhibition PARRATHON traces the trajectory of the singular photographer Martin Parr through some of his iconic series, between 1975 and 2019. From his beginnings in black and white, at a time when photography was dominated by journalistic drama and formal beauty, Martin Parr developed his own style saturated with colour. Taking as a reference to British society itself, with humour, Parr accumulates images with which he shows us the fragmented vision of a reality dominated by consumerism, mass tourism, junk food, superficiality, classism or the hyper-representation of “ I ”, as signs of an era that continues to this day. His images are usually amusing, but also uncomfortable, because what they show is our reflection.
