Hong Kong Parr was published, in an edition of 1800 copies, to coincide with Parr’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, at the Blindspot Gallery. "Parr’s photographs of the city, taken during two weeks 2013, display his usual balance of art & documentation, of satire & narrative. [His] photographs of the city…capture the barrage of fashion, food, and colour in Hong Kong, one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Known for his satirical and humorous social documentary on modern life, this latest project continues Parr’s examination of consumption, leisure, food culture, and eccentricity. "---The Independent
