Idris Elba Says New Sports Show 'Human Playground' Changed His Idea of 'What Human Beings Can Do' - People
"By taking a look at themes which span the globe, such as ancient rituals, rites of passage, business, pain, perfection and sacredness, this is a book which manages to encompass what it is to be human." - Amateur Photographer
"Channel your inner child and remember how it feels to exert yourself just for the thrill of it." - National Geographic Traveller
"The sheer variety of exhilarating activities presented in this volume…is astounding." - Aesthetica Magazine
"A visual extravaganza." - New York Times
"While modernisation poses a threat to many of these ancient sports, Hannelore presents them in a way that captures their vitality, and her photography is as energetic as the sports it depicts. Each frame launches us into the heart of the action." - WhyNow
"The book is a celebration of sports and games, and the culture of play around the world." - Robb Report Singapore
"Making the best photographs of a sport in action meant forming bonds with her subjects and sometimes diving into the mix herself." - Professional Photographer
Born in Chile and raised in Belgium, Hannelore Vandenbussche is a photographer and creative entrepreneur, but first and foremost, she is a storyteller. In 2009, after graduating with a degree in photography, she spent nearly three years travelling around the world with Jimmy Nelson for his project Before They Pass Away (teNeues 2014). Together, they photographed the world’s last remaining indigenous tribes for the book, which became a bestseller worldwide. Hannelore documented their epic journey in her book Before They Pass Away: the stories behind the photos. Her book became a bestseller in the Netherlands, is currently in its third edition, and was recently published in English. During her adventurous travels, Hannelore was inspired by the different types of sports and games she saw around the world, which led to her most ambitious project to date: Human Playground.
