Playas

Martin Parr

photographer, United Kingdom

 

For almost thirty years Martin Parr has been photographing beaches throughout the world. In Valparaiso as in Punta del Este in Uruguay or at Mar del Plata in Argentina, his outrageous photos reveal, with humor and irony, the absurdity of our societies of leisure and consumerism.
