Martin Parr puts the world to rights in this comprehensive catalogue of five decades of his photographs, published to accompany a major exhibition at Jeu de Paume in Paris.

For more than fifty years the British photographer has photographed the absurdities of the contemporary world, from the frenzy of over-consumption and the ravages of mass tourism to humanity’s increasing reliance on technology and our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

This book offers a reinterpretation of the artist’s work in a time of wide-spread global disorders, and makes a visual commentary on social behavior.
