Martin Parr built his career as a documentary photographer within the Magnum Photos agency. He has become famous for images that document many aspects of modern life, especially in Great Britain. He stood out for a disenchanted and ironic look with which he observes the world. The Museum of Cultures of Milan presents over 200 shots including over 60 medium and small formats, chosen and selected by the author, to retrace the career of one of the most famous contemporary photographers. Parr's shots are true anthropological portraits of contemporary society in its most contradictory aspects, without filters and outside rhetoric. He starts from his early works to arrive at the photographs that explore the plasticized and tacky reality of the Western world.
