Based on the eponymous 1992 BBC television series –an early version of reality television–, Signs of the Times: A Portrait of the Nation’s Tastes explores British taste and the domestic landscapes.
A TV call for volunteers prompted over 2,000 responses, but only 50 were chosen to be featured. Parr was the stills photographer during the shooting of the series. A brilliant look at the personal early 90s taste in British homes, captured in typical Parr fashion.
