Where Children Sleep is a photography book by James Mollison that features children’s bedrooms from around the world, with a portrait of the child. His introduction explains “I hope this book will help children think about inequality, within and between societies around the world, and perhaps start to figure out how, in their own lives, they may respond.” The photos here are very touching, what a beautiful concept.
Mollison is also the photographer behind the book The Disciples, photographs of fans outside concerts. Very cool too.
