Liverpool Biennial 2012
Liverpool Biennial 2012 presents work by 242 artists in 27 locations. The festival takes place in galleries, museums and sites across the city and includes a dynamic programme of talks, events, screenings and family activities.After being inspired by Martin Parr and realising that his work was going to feature at the Tate collection in the Liverpool i had to see the contemporary exhibition for myself! and i was not disappointed.
The following images i took are just a small flavour of the day.
Martin Parr Common Sense, 1995-99
The images were taken all over the world at the height of the 1990s, dissecting modern consumerism. I think this point stands out in the image of Lady Diana with a price tag of £12.60! Parr analyses society by photographing people, places and objects which reflect global tastes, traditions and travel.I think Martin Parr has a real eye for strange visual imagery. The angle from which he took the image below i found funny, strange(because it looks like the arms of the wind mill are growing out of the old lady's head) and fascinating because its difficult not to take a second look!
