Famed worldwide for the Colossus, the island of Rhodes' history has been one of occupation under many different rulers. Finally in 1947 after a short period of British control it again became a part of Greece. Today it is a popular holiday destination. Through marriage John Comino-James has direct personal links to the island, and in The Rhodes Project he revisits photographs preserved in old family albums and sets them against his own recent images, reflecting on the way in which the spirits of our forebears inform our lives, and how the histories that shaped them shape us too.
