Pictured during the winter, the snow-covered playgrounds might arouse a nostalgic sensation, yet a more critical analysis reveals a portrait of a place and offers us a glimpse of space and time paused. Thévenau interprets the emptiness within the playgrounds as a silence or tension that our minds feel compelled to fill, akin to the pause in a musical score or the interval of a theatrical play. These playgrounds are the residue of an ageing Japanese population, revealing economic shifts but also cultural philosophies about nature, respect, waste, and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book designed and published by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/ze-studio.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eZé Studio\u003c\/a\u003e, Sydney based design and art direction practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 48\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 210 x 260 mm \/ 8.3 × 10.2”\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2018\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Zé Studio\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Éditions\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Éditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21092012359765,"sku":"EDSA82","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/products\/1_49a17574-fb8d-4069-911a-c8af21fba7b2.jpg?v=1543597472","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.com\/en\/products\/seasonal-abandonment-of-imaginary-worlds","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
