Martin Parr / Welcome to Belfast
Interviewed by Anna Akage for photomonitor.co.uk
Magnum Photos cooperative president Martin Parr is a globally-recognised authority in contemporary photography and a self-proclaimed ‘chronicler of our age’. He was born in Epsom, Surrey (UK) in 1952 and studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic. In the 40 years of his photographic career he has published over 90 books of his own images and his work has been collected by many major museums, including the Tate, the Pompidou Centre and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Parr’s new exhibition Welcome to Belfast recently opened at Belfast Exposed, who commissioned the artist to make this new documentary project on tourism in Belfast. Since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, Northern Ireland has witnessed a dramatic economic resurgence. The tourism industry has flourished, fundamentally changing the scene of local life; visitors follow the legacy of the Titanic that was built in the Belfast docks and the historical events of the Troubles’ decades of violent conflicts. Parr’s images illustrate impressive changes that the city and its inhabitants have witnessed.
Below, Anna Akage caught up with Parr on Skype and asked him more about his recent projects, his view on British and international photography and the possibility of being detached in documentary photography.
