Street photography

Curly bread, old fella with lashings of Brylcreem and a sticky plastic table cloth, pretty much sums up 1980s Brighton

Artist’s statement from the Magnum Photos website:

This series of photographs were taken as an opportunity to explore the veracity of the caption. We do not know if these random couples are bored or not. Who is to say what is authentic when captioned as thus? Parr also photographs himself with his partner appearing to be bored, but she is, in fact, very excited at the addition of this photo to the project.
