Hong Kong Parr is a new publication by award winning photographer Martin Parr, to coincide with his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong at Blindspot Gallery.

From Mainland tourists in Hong Kong’s shopping districts, locals at the racecourse and ballroom, to raw food in the wet market, Parr captures the intensity of urban life in Hong Kong in an assault of food, fashion and colour.0The photographs in this book were commissioned by Blindspot Gallery.0Exhibition: Blindspot Gallery, Hong Kong, China, (06.09-01.11.2014).

Surprising and delighting in their similarity, these affectionately matched images celebrate photography's power to capture the small moments of humour, warmth, ennui and absurdity that are in fact our most important of all.
