Home and Abroad

A hilarious social observation of our time, this book links all Martin Parr's various colour projects. It starts in the English home, then radiates out to the world. He passes through theme park culture and seaside resorts, and photographs the middle classes at home and out shopping. He encounters a ubiquitous consumer-culture stretching out of Britain and reaching the foot of the pyramids, the Eiffel tower - and a Moscow McDonalds.
