Martin Parr’s Picks

This volume won the book award at the 2005 Rencontres
d’Arles, the annual photo festival In France. „Spinatsch photographs
from the fringes of big events like the G8 and focuses
entirely on the security forces,“ Parr explains. „The printing,
the design, and the ambition work very well.It possesses
all the elements so many books lack: rigor, discipline, the correct
production values. It’s one of the most coherent and challenging
books of the past decade.“
