Martin Parr was one of the best-known documentary photographers of his generation. His passion for Photography had no boundaries, as it became evident in his own practice. But just as impressive as his immense photographic legacy and his very public persona is the work done behind the scenes.
Utterly Lazy and Inttentive: Martin Parrr in Words and Pictures is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he documented relentlessly since childhood.
'It was a way for me to understand my progress as a photographer: to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same, both in my work and in the world. It has allowed me to see how everything is connected’ - Martin Parr
Ireland's Annual Anthology for the Arts: ‘a treasure trove of soul fuel with deep roots in Irish soil’ - Irish Times
Ishmael Claxton has immersed himself in the spaces and collections of the Dead Zoo, bringing his own unique perspective as an African American living in Ireland to the images he has captured. His use of a special blue-tinted filmstock references the Irish term for a black person, “duine gorma,” which literally translates to “blue skin”. This considered medium and careful lighting “paints” an atmosphere that normal photography is unable to evoke, providing a new visual perspective on the animals and spaces – creating something unique.
