Childhood fantasy is something very sensitive and volatile. In the course of adolescence seems to us this ability to naive imagination inevitably lost to come. You blunts, shrinks by experience and sober realism into itself. A variety of creative minds has tried to remind us in their works at this childlike insouciance and integrate the imagination again as a fixed element in the everyday life, be it the writer Erich Kästner and Lewis Caroll or, as an example from the present, filmmaker Tim Burton . This test can evaluate how you want it, it is clear that pose a tremendous fascination and a little melancholy of this fact.

The Melbourne photographer Polixeni Papapetrou dedicates its work to preserve this fragile spark. Born in Melbourne it has first taken an artistically oriented university career that led up to the doctoral degree before they, now over a decade, inspired by her children, dealt with the path from child to adult. In an intimate photographic project with their own children and their friends, she documented on idiosyncratic way the child’s view of the adult world, their physical and psychic change and the search for identity in modern society .
