THE PROTEST BOX - Martin Parr
This boxed set is just a tiny part of the incredible collection of photobooks by British photographer Martin Parr (1952-), a member of the Magnum Photos agency since 1994. "The Protest Box" consists of five books of photographs in facsimile reproduction, all related, but in very different ways, to the subject of popular protest. Considered true photographic treasures, each of these books seems impossible to locate. These "reprints" thus make a substantial contribution to our understanding of this genre, with the book itself becoming a veritable form of protest. The boxed set includes an introduction by Martin Parr, an essay by author Gerry Badger setting the issues raised in the various books in a broader context, and English translations of each text.
