Terminating Martin Parr documents Tom Pope’s performance of the same name where the artist destroyed 17 photographs created by Martin Parr. The 7-hour 47-minute performance took place on 19th May 2022 at ArtHouse Jersey.

The publication brings together the destroyed images and records of the performance. There is an in-conversation with Alice Maude-Roxby that expands on the notions of performance, destruction, and the value systems of the art world. Alongside a creative text contribution by Becky Tanner-Rolf. Designed by Johanne Lian Olsen and published by Folium.

This performative book launch will feature Tom Pope and Folium simultaneously finishing and semi-destroying the book cover with a cyanotype soaked tennis ball and a drill.
