As a small boy, John Comino-James stood in school cap and Sunday
suit to have his snapshot taken under flags put up for Queen
Elizabeth's Coronation. The resultant photograph resonates with an
England long since disappeared, yet still fertile in the
imagination. That sense of how that England has changed is the
focus in John Comino-James' new book as he explores our everyday
landscape of sign and symbol, from roadside verge to traffic-free
shopping centre, to high-rise cityscapes. Art is in action ahead,
and with a friendly corporate Hello, we are offered No Deposit
Deals on Half Price Dreams. We are thanked for shopping, and
offered free cash withdrawals. A Money Shop is at hand and
woodlands are for sale - just visit the website. If we drop litter
CCTV may catch us, and we are warned that if we leave something
valuable on show in our car we can expect it to be stolen.
Reminders of the valour and necessity, the sacrifices, the folly
and the tragedy of war are never far away. Earthquakes may strike,
stores may close but we can still buy artisan ice-cream. But if
opportunity is the moment you have been looking for, where is
salvation to be found if not in moments of direct relationship with
others?
