Childhood is often fantasized as a state of euphoric utopia. The following real life images have been digitized, some of them juxtaposed with popular drawings from absurd children's literature from my childhood in Bengal, India. These images attempt to capture the dwellings of absurd literature - apparently meaningless actions and events, with no inherent purpose.
The playfulness and child like wonder of these images are a reminder that the constant preoccupation with consequence does not afterall determine the purpose in the scheme of things.
