Zombie Kids: I Photographed Children Hypnotized By TV

My series “Idiot Box” hopes to explore the darker side of our love for technology. For this project I photographed children watching television. My portraits show the vacant stares of children engrossed in TV.

The kids were 3 to 4-year-old that lived in my neighborhood of Brooklyn. I hope that images start a dialogue about the role of technology in children’s lives.

I know as a mother I have a certain level of techno-paranoia. How much screen time is beneficial to their learning and imagination.

I used to have this same expressions on my face while I was stuck on my chair at school.. Maybe this is just the "stuckonachairwhiledoingnothing face" and it has nothing to do with tv, though I can't know for sure, I don't have one.
