Condition: Used - Good. Where Children Sleep presents English-born photographer James Mollison's (born 1973) large-format photographs of children's bedrooms around the world--from the US, Mexico, Brazil, England, Italy, Israel and the West Bank, Kenya, Senegal, Lesotho, Nepal, China and India--alongside portraits of the children themselves. Each pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the story of each child: Kaya in Tokyo, whose proud mother spends $1,000 a month on her dresses; Bilal the Bedouin shepherd boy, who sleeps outdoors with his father's herd of goats; the Nepali girl Indira, who has worked in a granite quarry since she was three; and Ankhohxet, the Kraho boy who sleeps on the floor of a hut deep in the Amazon jungle. Photographed over two years with the support of Save the Children (Italy), Where Children Sleep is both a serious photo-essay for an adult audience, and also an educational book that engages children themselves in the lives of other children around the world. Its cover features a child's mobile printed in glow-in-the-dark ink.

Hardcover. Condition: New. James and Other Apes Large format first edition Hardback Signed by the photographer First edition large format hardbound with glossy illustrated boards James and Other Apes is a collection of 50 close-up portraits of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos. The images are so strong and the featured apes-all named, with personal histories-so human-like that the viewer calls into question the dividing-line between man and animal. Photographed in sanctuaries across Africa and Asia, the apes featured are mainly victims of the trade in bush meat that threatens to cause their extinction. The work of young British image-maker James Mollison, a photographer working for the Benetton artlab Fabrica outside Venice, these images are a moving and powerful argument for the protection of the great apes and endorsed by world-renowned scientist and best-selling author Jane Goodall in her powerful introduction to the book.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Parking Spaces Martin Parr Between 2002 and 2007, Martin Parr photographed ?the last parking space? available in 41 countries ? somewhere you could have parked your car, had you been there at the time. Using a compact camera, and driven by wanting to express ?the individual frustration of finding somewhere to park, but on a global level?, this is the latest body of work in Martin?s methodical personal address to the issues of globalisation ? the desire for a precious parking space being a banal unifier of the middle classes the world over. Countries featured in Parking Spaces are Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Georgia, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, USA and Uruguay. Parr?s concept for the book Parking Spaces is to present it in the manner of a wedding album ? white and terribly precious, as befits the value of the last parking space.

Extent: 88 pages Photographs: 63 Colour Trim size: 36.5 x 27.5 cm, 14.5 x 10.75 inches.
