Around 20 works by Martin Parr and Tom Wood from the Walker’s own collection form an exploration of the similarities and differences between the two photographers.
Composed of work taken in the late 1970s and 80s the display concentrates on both photographers’ Merseyside work, as well as a small selection of Parr’s Irish scenes. It includes possibly the earliest work by Parr in a public collection (New Brighton, 1976) and images from some of Wood’s seminal projects, such as All Zones Off Peak (bus journeys in and around Liverpool) and Looking for Love (Chelsea Reach nightclub, New Brighton).
