A Taste for Mulhouse is a collection of works by British photographer Martin Parr. Parr has long been known for his humorous and critical portrayals of consumer culture and contemporary society. This work focuses on the Cité Briand district of Malraux in Alsace, France (a residential area formerly occupied by the textile industry). Set in a residential neighborhood built over 100 years ago, Parr explores the "unique colors" hidden in the everyday, from the families, shops, and gardens that inhabit it. Parr's lens captures not only portraits of the residents but also the interior decor, accessories, and even the edges of dining tables, capturing so-called "kitsch" elements with a unique intimacy. This 32-page large-format paperback contains a carefully curated selection of approximately 500 photographs, and serves as an extension of Parr's more than 30 years of social observation, exploring themes of "consumption" and "regionality" in a more everyday and accessible way. (The book will be folded for storage and shipping.)
