This brillaint series by Julian Germain started in northeast England. Since then Germain has visited schools throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. His magnificent photographs are packed with detail - books open on graffitied desks, instructions on white and blackboards, artwork hanging on walls, notes scribbled on the backs of hands. And of course, there are the faces of the children themselves; enrapt, bored, inquisitive, arrogant, and shy, they incite endless curiosity about what these kids' lives are like and what their futures hold. Exquisitely reproduced in an oversized format, these portraits trigger memories of our schooldays and bring into sharp focus the contemporary school experience throughout the world in all its diversity.
