Kid's weapons

Jean-Benoît Levy

Even if we don't like them, don't want them, or don't buy them, weapon are among us. They enter in our private life trough many uncontrolled ways. They come naturally in the hands of our children trough toys and stories. Their presence is exiting, brings fear or respect, and illusion of safety. This posters is created by looking and collecting all the weapons in the toy box of my seven years old boy. Created for Erik Brandt to post on his wall, in his neighborhood of South Minneapolis.
