Martin Parr – Very Modern and Rather Ugly

With the exhibition Very Modern and Rather Ugly, Foam pays tribute to the body of work of the British photographer Martin Parr.

Observations

Featuring a selection of his most iconic works, the exhibition celebrates Parr’s unmistakable vision, his witty observations of society and his enduring fascination with the role of photography in everyday life.

Parr

Parr is renowned for his ability to make the everyday seem strange and the mundane seem interesting. Through his vivid visual language, he transforms banal scenes into sharp reflections on modern society. Themes such as consumerism, cultural identity, tourism and class form a common thread running through his work, which he has explored over decades in both national and international contexts.
