Where Children Sleep Project

Posted on 11/04/12 | Featured

James Mollison wanted to portray children’s diverse worlds. What better way to do so than to photograph their bedrooms? When photographer James Mollison was asked to do a project on children’s rights, he photographed a diverse cross section of children and the bedrooms they call home. Where Children Sleep, a beautiful hardcover book featuring 112 color photographs. On the heels of this morning’s homage to where children read and learn comes a curious look at where they sleep. That’s exactly what Kenyan-born, English-raised, Venice-based documentary photographer James Mollison explores in Where Children Sleep — a remarkable series capturing the diversity of and, often, disparity between children’s lives around the world through portraits of their bedrooms. Take a look. Enjoy.
