BOOK DUMMIES IN THE MPF COLLECTION



The Martin Parr Foundation collection houses a number of photobook dummies including early versions of influential works such as; Richard Billingham Ray’s a Laugh, Chris Killip’s In Flagrante, and Vinca Peterson’s No System.

The items included in the collection all use varying techniques from silver gelatin prints cut & pasted into sketchbooks, to laser prints folded and bound together by masking tape. Book dummies capture the early stages of a photobook, and chart evolving ideas, processes, and materials, all vital to the history of photography.
