MARTIN PARR · LUXURY
“Traditionally the portrayal of poverty has been the domain of the ‘concerned photographer’, but I photograph wealth in the same spirit,” says Martin Parr.
The world-famous photographer Martin Parr has portrayed what it is like to be immensely wealthy. With great clarity, his photographs show that immense wealth means the same thing everywhere. Being in Dubai, South Africa, Russia, the United States, India or anywhere else. The result is a bizarre collection of photographs, featuring what might be the world’s least recession-sensitive people. Parr’s pictures have captured the expressions of those who have all there is to be had, and yet are not satisfied. Who still miss something. Another canapé, perhaps?
Martin Parr Luxury I Opening May 28th I 17.00-20.00 In the presence of the artist
The exhibition runs until June 28th Runebergsgatan 3, 114 29 Sthlm, Sweden
