About the Item
Jonathan Hobin’s In the Playroom, a series of photographs of children reenacting catastrophic events in the form of play, sparked a controversy that earned him an interview on CNN. His detractors were shocked by the pictures, claiming that the children cast in the staged scenes of horror were too young to understand their roles and could suffer severe aftereffects.
Jonathan Hobin is an award winning and internationally noted photo-based artist. Hobin’s work draws from iconic literary, cinematic and historical references and popular culture to explore the darker aspects of childhood, imagination and storytelling. Considered a controversial figure and “one of Canada’s most polarizing visual artists”(Jian Ghomeshi, CBC’s Q), Hobin’s work has been exhibited internationally and featured in major media including CNN, BBC, CBC as well as art publications including Art Das Kunstmagazin (Germany), Beaux Arts (France) and the Photographers Companion (China).
