Galerie Clémentine de la Féronnière
Martin Parr , Royaume-Uni
"Fashion Faux Parr" France
FRANCE. Cannes. Gucci. Cruise. 2018.
“Martin Parr’s words from the preface of the Fashion Magazine he edited in 2005 for an event at the Bon Marché perfectly summarize the place that fashion occupies in his work: ‘Some clichés show models, others show people spotted on the street, and you don’t always see the difference. Some photos lean towards documentary, others towards fashion, even art. It’s difficult to differentiate them, and that’s precisely what’s exciting. The boundaries that traditionally separate these worlds become blurred, and I love exploring these new fusions.'”
Twenty years later, two books and a new event at the Bon Marché inspire this exhibition at the gallery.

The gallery
Founded in May 2011, the gallery and publishing house Clémentine de la Féronnière have developed with the proclaimed intention of supporting the work of its photographers over the long term. The gallery represents notable artists such as James Barnor, Martin Parr, FLORE, Peter Mitchell, Juliette Agnel, and Guillaume Zuili. Located on the Île-Saint-Louis in Paris, it hosts an average of five exhibitions per year. The gallery actively collaborates with French and foreign museums for the acquisition and exhibition of its artists' works. Since 2017, it has expanded its activities to the management of photographic archives, starting with the work of James Barnor, whose oeuvre it represents.
In 2021, Maison CF opened its doors. The bookstore has its own curatorial program in correspondence with the gallery's exhibitions.
