HUMAN PLAYGROUND
- Why we play

Hannelore’s journey around the world meeting the planet’s last remaining indigenous tribes has now culminated in her biggest undertaking yet: Human Playground, a photo book, art prints and Netflix Original documentary series about sport, culture and tradition. This unique multimedia production brings modern and traditional sports together for the first time.

It’s a collection of the most fascinating, extreme and primal ways humans use sport to express who they are. Ultimately, the story weaving through Human Playground is an entertaining and thought-provoking observation of a human evolutionary constant: PLAY.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Chile and raised in Belgium, Hannelore is a photographer and a creative entrepreneur, but most of all, she’s a storyteller.

In 2009, after graduating with a degree in photography, she embarked on her first assignment: Jimmy Nelson’s Before They Pass Away project. For almost three years, she travelled to the most remote places on Earth and assisted Nelson as he captured the planet’s last remaining indigenous tribes.

Hannelore documented this epic journey in her bestselling book, Before They Pass Away: the stories behind the photos.

She’s now working on her biggest undertaking yet: Human Playground, a photo book, art prints and a Netflix Original documentary series about sport, culture and tradition. Hannelore is the creator and photographer of this unique multimedia production.

  • I dare to say with full conviction that this book is one of the most impressive books I have ever read.
    And maybe the best book ever.

  • What a fantastic and inspiring book! I have learnt so much about these unknown tribes, and Hannelore’s personal and engaging stories have fueled my desire to travel. Exciting, touching and at the same time unbelievably funny.
