Cry Babies: Lonely Ranger
By Jonathan Hobin
Located in Montreal, Quebec
A Boy Scout smears lipstick across his mouth, his lips and skin all the same. A girl wears a feathered headdress, a cigarette between her fingers and a bottle of booze in her hands. These scenes, which suggest that the kids are not alright, are two of the life-sized photographs in Jonathan Hobin's new photo series Cry Babies.
Bright and exceptionally detailed, Cry Babies challenges colloquial representations of childhood. Hobin's earlier series In the Playroom (2010) suggested a loss of childhood innocence through exposure to mass media reports of the violent power play of adults. Cry Babies puts childhood itself in the spotlight. But not as an innocent victim. Here it is complex, challenging, dark and troubling.
Philippe Ariès' seminal 1960 Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family Life traces the development of a western concept of childhood and argues that it was only discovered in the 17th century. In the middle ages, it didn't exist. Helen Schwartzman expands on this in her chapter "The Invention of Childhood": "All children, because of the fact that they are born into a social environment, are affected by a construct that is peculiarly historical and, as such, has undergone many changes and reinterpretations in all societies."
Hobin's practice reveals these constructs. He creates arresting images that challenge stereotypes and engage with taboos. Rooted in storytelling, his work takes visual cues from popular culture, historical references, cinema and literature. What he produces are contemporary tableaux vivants.
Gender, puberty, Neverland and the struggle to grow up, war and violence, religion, racial stereotypes, physical illnesses - the sixteen photos arranged in eight pairs of two address the dissonances in the choreography of childhood. Presented as photo diptychs...
