Martin Parr

Over 200 photographs with biting humor invest the Foam Photography Museum for a major retrospective. The most influential British photographer of his generation unfolds his iconic style: ultra-saturated colors combined with a no-holds-barred gaze at consumer society. From the crowded beaches of ‘The Last Resort’ to the unusual details of ‘Common Sense,’ the presented body of work captures the absurdities of everyday life, from mass tourism to class distinctions. This exceptional selection gathers original prints, rare books, and videos to illustrate a visual revolution that overturned the documentary genre. By capturing our little flaws with a sharp irony, the artist offers us a mirror that is as funny as it is destabilizing. A must-see event to grasp the essence of contemporary culture, visible from April 3rd to August 12th, 2026.
