Following February's obsession with color, I bring you South Korean photographer Jeongmee Yoon. Inspired by her daughter's love of pink (pictured above), she visited children's houses and photographed boys' blue things and girls' pink things. Amazingly, nothing was propped. The photos are beautiful but also pretty frightening. (See the NYTimes article here.)

that's so scary!! not just the colours, but thinking of how many things those little little babies have without ever asking for them. i like the pictures a lot, thanks for posting :)
ReplyDeleteWe're going to have to start calling you the Marquesa of Monochrome.

I agree with sandra -- what a crazy materialistic society we're in (not that I don't love things myself). Lovely photos, though!
ReplyDeleteGranted they're a bit scary but I am sure that as a little girl (and a pink-lover, like all aspiring ballerinas of course) I would have LOVED to be that kid!!!
ReplyDeletethese are scary!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a discussion about these in one of my classes last year. Lots to talk about! Visually striking and lovely though.
ReplyDeletei agree, it's funny that the little baby didn't ask for any of this stuff. i wonder how much he plays with it.
ReplyDeletealthough i'm sure i would be scared if i lay all my clothes or books or magazines on the floor, too :)
joanna, your link to me links to you!
ReplyDeletei agree on the photos - how many toys do little kids need??
Absolutely terrifying I think.
ReplyDeleteall that stuff is out of control!!!! wow!
ReplyDeleteMy son just wrote an essay on the importance of keeping his room clean...I'll have to show these pictures to him! :)

I'm so happy you posted about this. I actually saw the photographer's thesis show at SVA last spring. My friend was also in that MFA program. The work it totally fascinating. Have you seen the NYX article about each gender learning better in different color and temperature classrooms?! I think socialization is more important...but it's all good debate fodder.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these dear little ones were forbidden to touch anything during the photo shoot(s). To my mind, that possibility adds one more dimension to the freaky factor.
ReplyDeleteit IS very terrifying..
ReplyDeletebut Im impressed by the artist's obsessive curiousness..
maybe that's what makes a good artist.. to be absorbed in one subject, no matter what others think of them.. or maybe not:)
That's pretty insane that we are all associated with colors (looks at closest). I'm going to try and make an effort to be assoicated with one color come this Spring.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of toys!! The scary thing is, my niece would fit right in to the first picture!
ReplyDeleteoh ! frightening, that is the word !
ReplyDeleteMy son prefers green, my daughter loves pink but not that much !, and my baby, she loves what mummy loves ;-)
amazing.
ReplyDeletei like your blog.

This is sick ! 1) for the manipumation of kids brain, and 2) it's seems like those kids have so many things, they don't even have the time to want somehting, they already have it..
ReplyDeleteoh wow!
ReplyDeleteI dont know If I should be inspired or scared! Who knew kids were given THAT MUCH pink or blue stuff!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo!
ReplyDeleteI posted about your article and then this photo series a few days later when I saw it on DesignBoom. One of the comments .. " So pink..eyes..bleeding.."
Love the British babes up there! Wonderful.
Fantastic, this is such a fascinating insight into what we buy for children :)
ReplyDeleteWow... I know it is a bit late for leaving a comment but I have recently found your blog and have been reading your blog from the very beginning over the last few days.
ReplyDeleteFor the second pink picture, I was trying to find the little girl because there was so much pink objects in the room. When I looked at her, I thought she was a life-size doll and then did a double take at her and realized. Haha.
Thanks for making this such an interesting and amazing blog!

The extent to which we go to inform societal gender norms concerns me...This is just further proof that we are boxing our kids in.
