What do you remember about your school playground?
Was it a happy place, where life-long friendships blossomed amid the tinkle of childish laughter?
Or was it a wind-swept hellscape, full of traumatised British Bulldog casualties and piles of sawdust-covered vomit?
Photographer James Mollison has been travelling the world to see the places where schoolchildren of all backgrounds spend their break times.
His new book, Playground, beautifully illustrates the things that unite schoolchildren the world over – and those that divide them.
The book’s available through Aperture.org – and below are a selection of highlights.
1. Hull Trinity House School, Hull, UK
2. Kroo Bay Primary, Freetown, Sierra Leone
