James Mollison's photo projects are defined by smart, original
concepts applied to serious social and environmental themes. For
his latest book, Playground, Mollison photographs children at play
in their school playgrounds, inspired by memories of his own
childhood and interested in how we all learn to negotiate
relationships and our place in the world through play. For each
picture, Mollison sets up his camera during school break time,
making multiple frames and then composing each final photograph
from several scenes, in which he finds revealing "play" narratives.
With photographs from rich and poor schools, in countries including
Argentina, Bhutan, Bolivia, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya,
Nepal, Norway, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.,
Mollison also provides access for readers of all ages to issues of
global diversity and inequality.
