Martin Parr - Kleingärtner - 2019

With 'allotment gardeners,' Martin Parr created a new series which he shot in five allotments in Düsseldorf and Krefeld. He met Mathis, just 15 years old, who manages the garden for his father, a multi-generational operation growing strictly organic fruit and vegetables, and he also spoke with young parents sharing a garden, with Ingo the cactus breeder, with Michael the miniature train enthusiast, and with Petra the 'tomato woman'.
"Allotment gardeners" is the loving view on one of the original German clichés: the allotment gardeners. With his own British-humored look, Martin Parr created portraits of allotment gardeners that go beyond the individuals.
