Playground offers an uncommon reading of civilization through a series of photographs referring to the strange, or even the absurd, through its characters where you least expect them. One can only assume the situation of those he can not see, and guess their story that seems to be happening in a kind of collapsing city.
It is the fantasized or imagined story of the wandering of those who continue to exist in an environment that no longer seems to leave them any room. They seize what is left to them by a seemingly hostile city, in which the characters evolve, questioning the individuality of each and the place they occupy, their way of being, their relationship with others, the solitude, and intimacy. Through images and experiments in film photography, the subject is close to anonymity but is defined by the vision and interpretation that anyone can make of it.
Lili Lévy-Lajeunesse (b. 1995, Paris) studied in Brussels where she obtained a master’s degree in graphic design and photography at ERG—école de recherche graphique. She now lives and works in Paris where she photographs her daily life on film, essentially in black and white, giving an intimate vision of her generation, its dismay, its doubts, its joys, its struggles and its nights.
