Description
A richly detailed portrait of families from around the world, showcasing the diverse possessions and lifestyles of people living in more than 50 countries. In this striking collection of photographs, 16 photographers spent a week with "statistically average" families in 30 nations, capturing the unique cultural and material contexts of each country. The resulting images, accompanied by notes from the photographers and information about the standard of living in each nation, offer a fascinating glimpse into the present state of the global economy. By displaying families in their natural environment, surrounded by their possessions, Material World presents a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of globalization on family life and consumer culture.
