Where Children Sleep: a Diverse World of Homes
Photographer James Mollison was asked to do a project based on children’s rights.
His moving images remove the children from their home environment, showing them before a neutral background that mostly hides their economic status as if to say “kids are just kids.” Only when their bedroom is observed, however, does the full scope of their living situation become poiniently clear.
The collection of 112 photographs come from the book Where Children Sleep, available from publisher Chris Boot. It’s out of print, but I want to get it.
