British Council dhe Vodafone sjellin ne Galerine Kombetare te Arteve fotografin e mirenjohur britanik Martin Parr

Martin Parr sjell ne Tirane tre prej koleksioneve te tij:

Albania 1990
Ne 1990 Martin Parr udhetoi ne Shqiperi si pjese e grupit te pare turistik pas renies se murit te Berlinit. 12 nga 14 anetaret e grupit ishin gazetare. Ai pati mundesi te shetise lirshem shpesh here ne kohen e lire duke na dhene imazhe qe ndonese nuk i perkasin ...nje kohe edhe aq te hershme tregojne nje Shqiperi shume te ndryshme nga kjo e sotmja.

Common Sense
Ne 1999 Parr realizoi kete koleksion imazhesh te marra nga afer dhe me ngjyra te ndezura qe tregojne detaje te njohura te botes moderne perendimore. Imazhe nga shume afer te ushqimeve fast-food apo bizhuterive te femrave formojne nje ineks te botes bashkekohore.

Small World
Eshte nje studim i vazhdueshem i turizmit global ku Martin Parr tregon se si imazhi i nje resorti te famshem eshte shpesh nje kontradite me realitetin. Ne nje bote ku industria e turizmit eshte aktiviteti me i madh, Parr na paraqet boten sureale ku peisazhi behet viktime e suksesit te tij.

Albania 1990
In 1990 Martin Parr travelled to Albania on the first tourist trip into the country after the fall of the Berlin wall. This was an architectural tour and out of the 14 places , 12 turned out to be journalists. He was able to roam freely early in the morning or when there was limited amount of time off. Although still quite recent these images depict a different world from the Albania we know now.

Common Sense
In 1999 Parr produced this grid of close up images, in the brightest of colours that depict the details of the modern western world that has become so familiar. From close ups of fast food , through to woman's jewellery, it is an index of the flotsum and jetsam of the contemporary world.

Small World
With is ongoing study of global tourism Martin Parr shows how the image of a famous resort is often a contradiction of the reality. With tourism as the biggest industry in the world, Parr shows us what a surreal world it has become , often drowning in people as sites become victims of their own success.
