"The beautifully simple, desaturated yet crisp, photographs of children...and it's a clean book with a proper size for the images, giving them the space they deserve."—PhotoInduced
The portraits in this collection are theatrical, with the children in “fancy dress,” yet a sense of unease pervades—this is an anarchistic, even surreal, take on childhood and play. Vee Speers exposes a side of childhood that is neither carefree nor cliched, and through the children she projects a range of emotions and definitions that are part of our imperfect adult world.
Launched at Paris Photo, Speers’ work is avidly collected and is selling out in galleries in both Europe and the United States.
