entry description
For most of us growing up, playgrounds were more than a place for fun and games- they also provided a fast and hard lesson in how social structure works; they taught us how to be patient while we waited for our turn on the swing, while boys would chase and torment the new girl, and the nerdy kid would get bullied and left behind in sport games. In their new photomontage portfolio titled “The Playground Series”, international artists Francisco Diaz and Deb Young illustrate the innocent complexity of playground society.Titles Pertaining to File Numbers (there seem to be no place for titles)
