Description

Where Children Sleep presents English-born photographer James Mollison’s (born 1973) large-format photographs of children’s bedrooms world wide–from america, Mexico, Brazil, England, Italy, Israel and the West Bank, Kenya, Senegal, Lesotho, Nepal, China and India–alongside portraits of the children themselves. Each and every pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the story of Each and every child: Kaya in Tokyo, whose proud mother spends $1,000 a month on her dresses; Bilal the Bedouin shepherd boy, who sleeps outdoors together with his father’s herd of goats; the Nepali girl Indira, who has worked in a granite quarry since she used to be three; and Ankhohxet, the Kraho boy who sleeps at the floor of a hut deep within the Amazon jungle. Photographed over two years with the reinforce of Save the Children (Italy), Where Children Sleep is both a serious photo-essay for an adult audience, and likewise an educational book that engages children themselves within the lives of other children world wide. Its cover includes a child’s mobile printed in glow-in-the-dark ink.
