Visit ICP late night for a special screening in the ICP Library of Lee Shulman’s new documentary “I Am Martin Parr,” the definitive portrait of an extraordinary photographer who revolutionized contemporary photography by inventing a political, humanist and accessible photographic language. Director Lee Shulman will join ICP Director at Large, Francois Hebel for a Q&A after the screening.
About the Film
Since the 1970s, English photographer Martin Parr has held up a sometimes tender, sometimes critical and always mischievous mirror to our times, forcing us to take a hard look at how consumer society has shaped our lives. Discover the maverick behind some of the most iconic images of the past century on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England with the uncompromising Parr, whose subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.
Tickets to attend the screening are $5 and include access to ICP’s galleries. Arrive early to see current exhibitions "Weegee: Society of the Spectacle", "To Conjure: New Archives in Recent Photography", and "American Job: 1940–2011", on view through May 5, 2025.
