| book description |

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 over fifty years Martin Parr has photographed the absurdities of the contemporary world, from the frenzy of over-consumption and the ravages of mass tourism to humanityâ€™s increasing reliance on technology and our complex relationship with the animal kingdom. By turns critical, satirical, surprising, and funny, Global Warning is published in association with Jeu de Paume to accompany a new major exhibition of Parrâ€™s photography at the arts centre in Paris in January â€“ May 2026. Richly illustrated with more than 175 of his photographs, from his early black-and-white work in the raucous holiday parks and sleepy supermarkets of rural England to his more recent colour photography of bustling tourist attractions and must-see destinations from across the globe, Global Warning offers a reinterpretation of Martin Parrâ€™s work and position in a time of widespread global disorder. Featuring a tone-setting introduction by Quentin Bajac, director of Jeu de Paume, four further essays by Jean-FranÃ§ois Staszak, Roberta Sassatelli, Violette Pouillard, and Adam Greenfield, experts in the fields of geography, sociology, wildlife conservation and urban design, put the selection of works into context and explore the important topics that seem immediately relevant to our everyday lives. Showcasing many of Parrâ€™s most renowned images alongside rarely published hidden gems, Global Warning presents more than five decades of incisive visual commentary from one of the worldâ€™s most celebrated photographers.
