SIGN UP FOR THE WAItLIST! The event is sold out for now, but we are working on extra seats for the event! Joins us for the Opening Night Conversation with the world-renowned British Magnum photographer, Martin Parr. The conversation dives into Parr’s comprehensive work on leisure, tourism, and beach life as well as his lifelong dedication to photography. Not least how he keeps up the dedication and curiosity about his practice.
At the event Parr reflects on his approach to photography as a remarkable tool for unveiling paradoxes in our lifestyle and human condition, discusses his approach to documentary photography as well as unfolds perspectives on the development of photography over the course of his life from when he was 14 years old until today.
The impressive landmarks aside, Parr's insistent ongoing anthropological photographs reminds us of the ever-topical issue of being a human. A phenomenon that seems to be more relevant than ever to bring into the light.
Parr has revolutionized documentary photography and is one of the most celebrated, award-winning, and published photographers in the world. During his more than 50-year-long career he has been president of Magnum Photos, published more than 120 photo books, and been exhibited worldwide.
In 2025 he is yet again topical. A new documentary feature ‘I am Martin Parr’ about his impressive work and career is out in cinemas across the world this spring, and in September Penguin Books releases a new autobiography, ‘Utterly lazy and inattentive’ , about his long and influential career.
NB Only a very limited number of tickets are available. If the event is sold out we recommend to sign up on the waiting list, so we can contact you, if additional tickets are released. The ticket also gives access to the exhibitions at the festival center at Gamle Scene 12 June.
