fotografia festival Internazioanle di Roma Zone Attive Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, 47 00185 Rome Italie

by Marco Delogu produced by Zoneattive According to Martin Parr, photography involving people is always voyeuristic: stolen images not to be hidden behind false moralism. When photojournalism lingers on the suffering of the Third World, Parr devotes himself to the First World, teasing our western culture with typically British subtle humour often with parodistic tones. Parr has followed this culture of world tourism's mass consumerism in travelling, and after The Last Resort and Small World, he now addresses the capital of art and pilgrimages. Tuttaroma is a new, original and important development in Parr's work: together we have overcome his traditional presentation method consisting in hundreds of photographs, reducing it all to 15 individual images and 4 large diptyches, keeping only 3 panels with 9 photos each as the ideal link to previous exhibitions. In The Last Resort he had shown a New Brighton with its hot dogs and chips, beer and swims. With Small World he once again became a reporter of the manias associated to travel and tourism, emphasising the more common aspects. In TuttaRoma too, his amused and baroque perspective follows the multitudes that invade the capital every day, transforming them with a transparency that is often disarming, within the stereoscopic theatre of a crowd playing the role of a collective extra in the ritual of mass tourism. His exasperated attention to detail lingers on this new human comedy of consumption and entertainment, enlivened by kitch souvenirs, fans, hats, sunglasses and maps of the city and of course cameras. But it remains a city that in spite of everything still continues to astonish us, to enchant us, a Rome that confirms for us that "in a saturated and increasingly uniform world, the stimulating and provocative views provided by photography are fundamental".
