The World Tour of Recreation Courses in Photography with James Millison
For most of us, the term “Recreation Court” evokes images of slides, swings, sandboxes and other outdoor games. However, for children living in the West Bank, it is obviously very different than those attending school in France or even Sierra Leone, for example. Structures and grounds that are offered to the uniforms they wear, there are particularities for each playground.
The photographer James Mollison gives us a glimpse of the many ways in which children are falling apart in his photo book, as well as in the exhibition that accompanies it , Playground . Capturing recreation courses in places such as Argentina, Bhutan, Bolivia, India, Italy, Japan and Nepal, Mollison captures a lively snapshot of the differences and similarities present in these playgrounds that animate once the sound of the bell has retense.
The photographs evoke scenes of entertainment, embarrassment, relaxation, disappointment and anxiety that mark these places but also those brains growing. Although the photos are beautiful, they remind us of the intensity or misfortune that can be found in a playground, according to the country in which it is located. We can easily compare rich and poor countries to the view of these photos, whether in high school or in high school. Both a meditation on inequality and a visual journey in time, the book, published by Aperture reveals the consequences of recreation.
