Almost a quarter of a century after its publication, it is hard to underestimate the importance of The Last Resort, both for British photography and for Martin Parr’s career. Martin Parr made The Last Resort from 1982 to 1985.

Between satire and cruelty – not without a certain tenderness for his fellow Britons – he portrays families of modest means taking their holidays in New Brighton near Liverpool, a small seaside resort in decline. What should have looked like a summer district, put through Parr’s mill, suddenly takes on the air of an industrial zone.

in The Last Resort, Martin Parr evokes his nostalgia for the 1960s with biting irony. He denounces the end of a world (the working class world) and its values, as well as the advent of a new, consumerist conception of life. A key publication in Martin Parr’s oeuvre, with a foreword by Gerry Badger.

Martin Parr (born 1952) is one of the best known documentary photographers of his generation. He is a key figure in the art world both for his photographic work and for his involvement as a curator. In 2017 he opened the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, dedicated to promoting British documentary photography. He is member of the Magnum agency since 1994, of which he was also president from 2013 to 2017. He has published more than 100 books. His work is included in several major museum collections and has been the subject of a retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2019. Martin Parr is represented by Kamel Mennour, Paris/London.

Maison CF Editions and JR renew their collaboration with the publication of the first volume in a new series dedicated to the artist’s work in cities around the world. Designed by Studio Agnès Dahan, the collection will be published at rate of one to three volumes per year.

Timed to coincide with JR’s latest Paris project—on the façade of the Opéra Garnier in the fall of 2023—this inaugural volume showcases the artist’s monumental and participatory works created in the French capital since 2009. This large-format book gives pride of place to imagery and features a unique text by Daniel Pennac, offering his personal perspective.

The edition brings together JR’s major architectural collage projects in Paris, presented in a beautifully designed book. These photographic installations engage with the city’s iconic monuments, from the illusionary disappearance and simulated excavation of the Louvre Pyramid, to the transformation of the façades of the Panthéon and the Opéra Garnier, the banks of Île Saint-Louis, and the Eiffel Tower. Each of these urban interventions reflects a direct collaboration with the public—both as co-authors and as spectators.

“Nomadic homeless stones that look like nothing, simple pebbles, yet ridges, humps, roundings, slopes, craters, shades of mother-of-pearl, opal, mirrors of time”
An artist's book in the form of a leporello, with poems by Léa Bismuth.

Produced with the support of the Ville de l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

Juliette Agnel, born in 1973, is a photographer trained in the visual arts and ethno-aesthetics, influenced by the work of Jean Rouch and the stories of Victor Segalen. After years of exploration in Africa, she developed an experimental photographic practice, combining blur and randomness to evoke human memory. Her encounter with the Bardenas desert in 2016 inspired Les Nocturnes, a celestial series exhibited at Rencontres d'Arles, extended by projects such as La lune noire. His work, focused on the links between man and landscapes (Greenland, Sudanese necropolises, prehistoric caves), was awarded the Prix Niépce in 2023. In 2024, his work will be shown at the BnF, the Jeu de Paume and the Fondation Van Gogh.

For Juliette Agnel, art is about the relationship between the real and the invisible, about an absolute that transcends us and challenges us to question the foundations of our humanity. For her, it's a question of tirelessly pursuing the same quest by observing those forces that surround us but which we don't see: “grasp what unites us in depth, recalling that the human body is a significant fragment of the cosmos.”

For her, it's a question of tirelessly pursuing the same quest by observing those forces that surround us but which we don't see: “grasp what unites us in depth, recalling that the human body is a significant fragment of the cosmos.”",[454],{"_23":122,"_123":455},[456],{"_23":126,"_127":457,"_157":-5},{"_129":98,"_130":-5,"_21":458,"_35":459,"_142":462,"_103":464,"_149":465,"_153":467,"_53":126,"_154":-5,"_155":468},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/50992938287368",{"_133":134,"_21":460,"_29":461,"_137":-5,"_138":211,"_140":212},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/64257060962568","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0932/5471/3608/files/maisoncf_julietteagnel_silex_main.png?v=1748103137",{"_144":463,"_146":147},"29.0",{"_53":449,"_109":450},[466],{"_23":122,"_152":126},"SKU-SILEX-JULIETTEAGNEL-20",[-5],{"_160":470},[471,473,477,481],{"_163":472},{"_21":460,"_29":461,"_137":-5,"_140":212,"_138":211},{"_163":474},{"_21":475,"_29":476,"_137":-5,"_140":212,"_138":211},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/64257059717384","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0932/5471/3608/files/maisoncf_julietteagnel_silex_hover.png?v=1748103137",{"_163":478},{"_21":479,"_29":480,"_137":-5,"_140":212,"_138":211},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/64257059520776","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0932/5471/3608/files/maisoncf_julietteagnel_silex_alternate02.jpg?v=1748103137",{"_163":482},{"_21":483,"_29":484,"_137":-5,"_140":212,"_138":211},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/69490744230152","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0932/5471/3608/files/maisoncf_julietteagnel_silex_alternate01_c4b53b91-0336-4ff6-a42f-41affc80a245.jpg?v=1754128900",{"_21":460,"_137":-5,"_140":212,"_29":461,"_138":211},{"_169":487,"_171":488},{"_144":463,"_146":147},{"_144":463,"_146":147},[490,492,494,496,-5,498,502,504],{"_238":239,"_152":491,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"Juliette Agnel",{"_238":245,"_152":493,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"[{\"value\":15.0,\"unit\":\"CENTIMETERS\"},{\"value\":12.0,\"unit\":\"CENTIMETERS\"},{\"value\":1.6,\"unit\":\"CENTIMETERS\"}]",{"_238":248,"_152":495,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"22",{"_238":251,"_152":497,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"{\"value\":107.0,\"unit\":\"GRAMS\"}",{"_238":254,"_152":341,"_241":256,"_243":499},{"_176":500},[501],{"_21":345,"_109":346},{"_238":348,"_152":503,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"Léa Bismuth",{"_238":266,"_152":505,"_241":242,"_243":-5},"{\"type\":\"root\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"Produced on the occasion of the exhibition \"},{\"type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"Les Nuits \",\"italic\":true},{\"type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"by Juliette Agnel, presented at Campredon Centre d’Art from October 22, 2022 to January 15, 2023, this catalogue-object, in the form of a leporello, presents her \"},{\"type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"Silex \",\"italic\":true},{\"type\":\"text\",\"value\":\"series alongside poems by Léa Bismuth.\"}]}]}",{"_176":507},[508,510,511],{"_109":509,"_53":491},"juliette-agnel",{"_109":271,"_53":54},{"_109":179,"_53":180},{"_129":98,"_130":-5,"_21":458,"_35":513,"_142":514,"_103":515,"_149":516,"_153":467,"_53":126,"_154":-5,"_155":518},{"_133":134,"_21":460,"_29":461,"_137":-5,"_138":211,"_140":212},{"_144":463,"_146":147},{"_53":449,"_109":450},[517],{"_23":122,"_152":126},[-5],[],{"_25":-5,"_53":-5},{"_21":522,"_53":523,"_107":524,"_109":525,"_111":526,"_25":527,"_113":528,"_115":528,"_116":117,"_118":112,"_119":529,"_158":558,"_165":570,"_167":571,"_155":574,"_174":592,"_181":598,"_189":605,"_191":613},"gid://shopify/Product/10069930541320","Stories.

In parallel with the exhibition James Barnor: Stories. Pictures from the Archive (1947-1987), presented in 2022 at the LUMA Foundation as part of the Rencontres d’Arles festival, the book offers a kaleidoscopic overview of the Ghanaian photographer’s oeuvre. From Accra to London and back, from the end of the colonial era to the early 1980s, from studio portraits to press commissions, the reader gains an insight into the process behind Barnor’s best-known images while exploring more personal aspects of this exceptional archive.

This exhibition is the first retrospective in France devoted to a photographer who continues, as he approaches the age of 96, to inspire generations of contemporary artists, and whose work is now included in the most prestigious international collections.

James Barnor (born 1929) opened his first photography studio in Accra, Ghana, in 1949. He also worked for the press, documenting through his photographs the movement that led to the country’s independence in 1957. Living in the United Kingdom from 1959 to 1969, he documented the experience of the diaspora in the “Swinging London” of the sixties. He branched out to color photography, and returned to Ghana in 1970 to cultivate the use of the technique. In 2021 he was honored with a large-scale retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery in London.

New York is a city that belongs to no one, yet to everyone. A canvas open to dreamers, exiles, and those who still believe in the power of anonymity and metamorphosis. This is the New York that JR has captured, the eternal outsider whose art reveals the collective soul of a city often perceived as a concrete monster, but which pulses above all with its invisible beings. Through his monumental collages, JR gives a voice to those we no longer see: the Azerbaijani student lost in the crowd, the forgotten faces of Ellis Island, the ballerina suspended above a Tribeca parking lot. His work transcends public space to create a gallery without walls, where every passerby becomes both spectator and work. This book is a journey through the artist's most emblematic collages. As the preface rightly writes, this city is a magnetic chaos, where he captures the fleeting brilliance of ordinary lives to turn them into ephemeral monuments. Welcome to the artist's New York.

\" Born in Idaho in 1960, the American artist has dedicated a work to her home state, featuring photographs taken between 1988 and 2019. Working in black and white with a 40×50 format, Anne Rearick evokes the epic of a pioneering America, a land enamored with wide-open spaces and fundamental freedom. This America is embodied by her family across several generations, notably represented here by her grandfather—a great charmer, an immediate presence like that of an irresistible actor.

True West, accompanied by the artist’s handwritten text resembling pages torn from a personal diary, begins by recalling a heritage: roadside graves, a church without a door like a stage set, the dust of departure. [...] To preserve the wild within the civilized—that could be Anne Rearick’s poetic motto. \"

Anne Rearick was born in the United States in 1960. She follows in the great tradition of humanist documentary photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Diane Arbus. She works over the long term, immersing herself in the daily lives of her subjects as deeply as they allow. The beauty of her images is perfectly matched by analog black-and-white film, and the wide, square 6×6 format of her Hasselblad camera captures the finest details: the way skin textures emerge, the subtle background weave of a landscape...

These elements compose scenes impossible to date, imbued with a timeless poetry and universal emotion. From the Basque Country to Kazakhstan, Anne Rearick regularly sets down roots to photograph what moves her most. Represented by the VU’ agency since 1992, her work appears in major international magazines, and she teaches photography and film history in the United States.

This series, originally exhibited at Impressions Gallery in York in 1979, was the first color photography exhibition shown in the UK. Revisited at the Rencontres d’Arles in 2017 and the Charleroi Photography Museum in 2020, A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission had never before been published as a book.

Bilingual, the volume reproduces all the images from the series—mainly square-format portraits of Leeds residents, captured in front of their homes or shops during the 1970s. The backdrop unfolds an astonishing Martian investigative tale: at a time when the first Viking probes were being sent into space, here a Martian probe lands in Leeds and comments on the photographs.

This book is co-published by Maison CF and RRB Publishing.

Some people shine thanks to their tiny existences. Certain graceful gestures captivate our hearts because they are sketched with all discretion. Man has forged the noble spirit over time, and this has caused our society to evolve. Currently, this heritage is on the verge of disappearing in the face of human desires that no longer know its limits. Even art, supposed to reflect the state of the soul, risks losing its hold on aesthetics and self-control in the face of the craze for multiple unprincipled choices made possible by the latest technologies.

Yet, at such a turning point in values, the story of a country was born, in thirty-two carefully selected photographs that will never cease to be told. A moment, a space captured by a discreet gesture, only a small camera that fits in the palm of the hand could achieve it. The past, present, and future of the country are represented in these images. Located on the French Riviera, Monaco is the second smallest country in the world.

Mikiya Takimoto pressed the camera button with serenity, as if in prayer. Through the succession of landscapes, a message appears, it seems to me, that tells us how to face this world and save this beautiful planet.
Will you share this feeling with me?
