How kids are reacting to the media ?! A lot of studies show that children are overcome by major current events and headlines of our time. In this ‘In The Playroom’ series by Canadian photographer Jonathan Hobin, utilizing only kids props, created a metaphor for the impossibility of a protective space safe from the reach of modern media.

Events such as 9/11, hurricane Katrina, the north Korean missiles, Princess Diana’s death and the JonbenĂ©t Ramsey trials are represented here in a very disturbing way. 

Maybe it is disturbing, but the men has a point! By confronting the watcher with 'possibility’s' he makes you think!
