Martin Parr, one of the world’s leading photographers, spent two years to document a ‘hidden Oxford’ with his characteristically witty and unflinching eye. Commissioned by The Bodleian Libraries and Oxford University Press, Parr’s photographs capture the quirks of university life as he finds them, albeit with certain degrees of control and construction.
Parr’s photographs reveal aspects of university life and academic communities that are rarely accessible to the outsider. Parr looks behind-the-scenes at Oxford rituals, ceremonies, and traditions that still hold significance today. He shows students’ antics at sporting events, clubs, and societies, as well as the core university activities of research and teaching.
A selection of Parr’s Oxford photographs is being exhibited in Hong Kong for the first time at f22 foto space from 5 December 2019 to 15 February 2020. For more information, please visit https://www.f22.com/en/.
This event is generously supported by Mr. Douglas So, the founder and director of f22 foto space. The University thanks Mr. So for making the private viewing possible.
