Overview
- The exhibition runs January 30 to May 24, 2026 at the Jeu de Paume in Paris.
- Parr selected 180 images from roughly 56,000 in the Magnum archive with director Quentin Bajac and gallerist Clémentine de la Féronnière.
- Parr described the show as the first time he stated his political aims with such clarity, centering overconsumption, mass tourism and environmental strain.
- Quentin Bajac says Parr wanted the serious dimension of his work to be recognized, and the exhibition was planned before the photographer’s death.
- The retrospective situates Parr’s shift from black‑and‑white to vivid color and flash, his breakthrough with Last Resort, and his later leadership at Magnum Photos.
