这是马丁·帕尔（Martin Parr）《自画像》的全面修订和更新版本，本书在2000年首次出版，大获成功。经过重新设计，封面上添加了迷宫谜题，内页包括大量新的自首次出版以来拍摄的图片。这本书展示了这一时期从模拟摄影到数字摄影的显著转变。过去的30年里，马丁·帕尔在世界各地拍摄时，他的肖像都是由当地的影楼摄影师、街头摄影师或在照相馆拍摄的。精致的摄影棚布景让人想起维多利亚时期影楼摄影师的全盛时期，帕尔俨然宇宙先生的数字图像，摄影棚为了奉承他而重新润色的照片，所有这些都是对肖像拍摄的颂扬。这些照片按时间顺序排列，随着帕尔在各大洲的旅行中缓缓变老。与帕尔的所有作品一样，这本书不仅非常滑稽，而且还评论了一个超越框架的世界，不仅呈现了国家之间明显的文化差异，还提供了更广泛的社会和政治参考。本书还反思了身份和自我，质疑了整个肖像摄影的概念。

This is a fully revised and updated edition of Martin Parr’s highly successful book Autoportrait which was first published in 2000. Redesigned, it features a playable labyrinth puzzle on the front cover and includes a large number of new images taken since its first publication. The book shows the remarkable shift from analogue to digital photography that has taken place over the period. For the last thirty years, when Martin Parr has travelled on assignment throughout the world he has had his portrait taken whether by a local studio photographer, a street photographer, or in a photo booth. The result is a true celebration of portrait taking ranging from elaborate studio sets reminiscent of the heyday of the Victorian studio photographer, through to digitally manipulated images of Parr as Mr Universe, or images horrendously re-

touched by a studio in their attempts to flatter him. Presented in chronological order, the photos follow Parr as he ages gently on his travels across continents. As with all Parr’s projects the book is not only hilarious but also comments on a world beyond the frame not only in the apparent cultural differences between countries but also in its broader social and political references. It also reflects on identity and self, questioning the whole notion of the photographic portrait.
