Only Human - Beau Livre

By turns witty, surprising and ingenious, Martin Parr's photographs reveal the eccentricities of modern life with affection and insight. This new book examines what it means to be human at a time of both change and retrospection. Focusing on new work from the last twenty years, Only Human explores the concepts of Britishness and identity through the rituals and habits of everyday life. Bodies of work include 'Dance', 'Britain at the Time of Brexit' and 'The Establishment', as well as previously unpublished celebrity portraits of Anna Wintour, Pelé and Ai Weiwei among others.
Two essays by curator Phillip Prodger accompany the work, along with an introduction by Grayson Perry and texts by photographers Joachim Schmid and Dayanita Singh.
