A Year in the Life of Chew Stoke Village – Martin Parr

Taken in 1992, the photographs in this volume tell the story of the delicate balance of Chew Stoke Village endangered by the arrival of numerous foreigners and the daily life of its inhabitants, with the masterly use of colour that has made the style of the famous English photographer recognisable at first glance.

The images of the small town immersed in the Somerset countryside offer a glimpse of the English society that Parr has always documented, exalting the human side of his subjects in depicting them, without neglecting a pinch of humour, which seems to permeate the scenes depicted.
