Photo London’s spotlighted photographer for the 2023 edition of the fair, Martin Parr, will discuss his well-known interest in the photobook—from his ever-expanding personal collection of photobooks, to the book form as a vehicle for his own photographs. Parr will present a few of his classic monographs, including The Cost of Living, Common Sense, Life’s a Beach, and Death by Selfie, before a conversation with Aperture’s creative director Lesley Martin about his role as a champion of the photobook as an autonomous art form.

Talk Tickets cost: £9.50
