Lara Pawson just put up a link to a brilliant photographic project between 28 children who all live in a housing project (and go to the same school in Hackney, London) and the South African photographer Gideon Mendel. According to the PR, “… the children [who are an international bunch] documented their world over six months, photographing their friends, families, community and school to create an accomplished and vibrant body of work. At the same time, Mendel, working in parallel to the children made portraits of every child in the school as well as also documenting the life of the area.”
This video installation is part of the Kingsmead Eyes exhibition on display at the V&A Museum [in London, UK] of Childhood from 7 November 2009 till 7 February 2010.
