What's missing? Lockdown playground: The picture was taken in the first lockdown in spring 2020 in Hamm (Germany). At that time, all playgrounds in NRW were locked down. An absurd and grotesque picture.A place that actually invites you to play and relax was closed off. The place was there and yet not there. The playground was robbed of its function.
