Influence: Photographs taken by Marika Marrone Goines

My six-year-old niece was given a camera to play with at a garden party. She spent a happy afternoon taking pictures of guests, most of whom were grown-ups. When the prints came back, the photographs were of people's legs and feet. It seems obvious in retrospect that a small child sees the world of adults as a forest of trousers and stockings, but at the time it came to us as a surprise. People see the whole world from their own point of view, and are generally amazed that others see it differently. This film is about a murderer of children, and the poster presents a child's-eye view.
