Parking Spaces
posted by John Davies at 9:25 PM
A BBC documentary last night revealed that Martin Parr's latest project is Parking Spaces - in which the obtuse photographer travels the world taking pictures of the last parking spaces available in streets and car parks. Is this eccentric? Parr was asked; "Yes, it's bizarre ... I don't know what I'll do with it yet ..." he replied, but did reveal the philosophy behind this piece of work: "It fascinates me that the one thing we're all looking for in life is somewhere to park the car."
