Theatres of Play is an ongoing series for which I have photographed playgrounds in various countries (including Japan, Britain and Germany) at night. The series considers the notion of a universal mode of (fixed) play, the changing atmosphere and potential role of these playgrounds after dark and the possible memories and drama they evoke. “Greiner highlights the culture of fear that has grown around the safety of children. In these photographs, she stages the camera as a menacing eye, stalking a dark and abandoned playground. Disciplined Spaces and Theatres of Play go hand in hand, tracing the evolution of what childhood means in our culture – from a time of extreme discipline, to a time of growing anxiety. Crucially, Theatres of Play seems to offer less a critique of the institution, more an uneasy point of identification through the camera gaze.“ (Katie Kitamura) theatres_of_play_menu.html
