James Mollison: Playground
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

James Mollison's photo projects are based on smart, original concepts applied to serious social and environmental themes. For his latest book, Playground, Mollison has photographed children at play in 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 at a young age 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 USA, Mollison also provides lively access for readers of all ages to issues of global diversity and inequality.

ordered this for a teacher friend. we leafed through it and we both were charmed and found ourselves really really interested in the photos. it is like a new view of the world whether or not you've got a classroom of kids from many lands. it feels like a personal introduction to a bigger universe. tons of two-page photos -

The book arrived damaged. The spine of the book was completely separated. I returned the book and got a new one, but the second one had the exact same problem.

all good here

It is very interesting book.
