Martin Parr was one of the best-known documentary photographers of his generation. His passion for Photography had no boundaries, as it became evident in his own practice. But just as impressive as his immense photographic legacy and his very public persona is the work done behind the scenes.
Utterly Lazy and Inttentive: Martin Parrr in Words and Pictures is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he documented relentlessly since childhood.
'It was a way for me to understand my progress as a photographer: to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same, both in my work and in the world. It has allowed me to see how everything is connected’ - Martin Parr
"In September 2012, I drifted across the ocean and found myself in an unfamiliar land. Leaving behind family, friends, and the comfort of home, I left Singapore and embarked on a new life in the UK. For me, it was a time of great personal growth, as I set about to integrate into a foreign culture and find my place in the world.
This series uses the anonymity, geometry, and formal visual language of my street photography to evoke the sense of dislocation and uncertainty I felt over this period.
The title ‘Journey to the West’ comes from a Ming dynasty Chinese myth about the journey of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang who travelled to the ‘Western Regions’ to obtain Buddhist sacred texts (sutras)."

This is the first volume of the Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory Anthology, a music compilation anthology attempting to preserve the fictional history of a small composer community based in rural Ireland which existed from the mid-60’s till the late-80's. Initially released in 2022, this inaugural volume is now being re-released as a compact disc, with a 50-page booklet which documents the history of the lab, and - for the first time! - the full score to Packie Bolger's "Piece for Recorder Quartet and Two Synchronised Delay Lines", written for the opening of the 1989 Teletext Conference in Kilkenny.

When shadows grow longer, when expectation weighs heavy, how do people in Ireland mark Christmas? A woman shops for a very particular Christmas dinner: a man tries to buy a puppy for his daughter: a girl watches as her mother roasts a fowl over an open fire.
From old traditions to the creation of new ones, from moments of quiet reflection to chaos, comedy and even horror, this alternative seasonal collection reflects the stunning breadth of experiences an Irish Christmas offers.
In this play—a perpetual stew—the so-called “accessories” and “props” of artists take center stage. No longer silent or subordinate, these objects speak, question, and disrupt, revealing the often-invisible infrastructures that shape artistic production. Their conversations unfold across systems of value, labor, authorship, and spectatorship, casting light on the backstage economies of the art world. What was once peripheral becomes protagonist, as the tools of making articulate their own agency and implication in broader cultural, political, and institutional logics.

Today, around two-thirds of the world’s population lives in cities. At the beginning of the 20th century, the corresponding figure was just 10%. In just over a hundred years, humanity’s way of life has undergone dramatic changes – a large majority of us have become urban dwellers. This book is about the cities of the future and the opportunities – and dangers – of a world where cities continue to expand.
