Kingsmead Eyes is the result of a unique collaboration between photographer Gideon Mendel and 28 pupils from Kingsmead School in 
Hackney, London. The children documented their world over six months, photographing their friends, families, community and school, to create an accomplished and vibrant body of work. At the same time, Mendel, working in parallel to the children made portraits of every child in the school, as well as also documenting the life of the area.

This video installation is part of the Kingsmead Eyes exhibition on display at the V&A Museum of Childhood from November 7th, 2009, until February 7th 2010.
