Where Children Sleep

James Mollison explores in Where Children Sleep — a remarkable series capturing the diversity of and, often, disparity between children’s lives around the world through portraits of their bedrooms. 
4-year-old Jasmine has participated in over 100 child beauty pageants and lives in a large house in the Kentucky countryside.

Alyssa lives in a small wooden house with her family in Appalachia.


7-year-old Indira works at a granite quarry and lives in a one-room house near Katmandu, Nepal, with her parents, brother and sister.

  2. You're right. Jasmine and Alyssa actually live quite close to one another yet their worlds are so different.
