Martin Parr: Global Warning photography exhibition

Jeu de Paume museum presents a new major exhibition dedicated to Martin Parr’s colourful photography from the past five decades.

Capturing the absurdities of everyday life, the celebrated British photographer has built up a collection of vibrant work that incidentally documents climate breakdown from the 1970s to the present day. 

From bright, saturated images of sun bathers topping up their tan on a jam-packed beach to tourists huddled around the Mona Lisa with their cameras aloft, Parr’s offbeat images show how mass mobility has reshaped destinations around the world.

Martin Parr: Global Warning is a striking exhibition that explores the role of global tourism, mass leisure and overconsumption in today’s modern society.
