‘Parenthood is messy': what it's really like to raise a child
Photographer Kirsten Lewis's book Unsupervised presents a raw, honest look at how some families navigate the challenges and joys of raising children. Spending between 24 and 72 hours documenting each family, over a period of 15 years, Lewis's intimate black and white photographs capture moments in the home lives of a variety of families. The images explore the fullness of parenting, from its sudden dramas to the quiet shared moments. Unsupervised by Kirsten Lewis is published by Daylight books Kirsten Lewis: 'One of my objectives when being invited into a family's home to photograph is to validate someone's worth by showing them how much they are loved. In my opinion, parenting is the hardest and most underappreciated job one can take on yet it's seemingly taboo to acknowledge this outwardly. Every single parent I have ever spoken to that has shared their struggles is not desiring a different life, just to simply be understood and hear that they are not alone' The trust between the families and Lewis is evidenced by the level of intimacy she was able to witness and capture with her camera. This project also questions the pressure of perfection widespread across all social media platforms with their carefully 'curated' windows into family life 'Imagine a world where families felt safe enough to live their lives free from the fear of judgment, criticism and inadequacy' 'I made this picture of my daughter when we were in a small village in Iceland back in 2019. She was jumping over puddles when she tripped over a small rock and fell, face first, into the wet pavement. Once I confirmed no teeth were lost and an ER trip was not necessary, I chose to make a picture. I like to lean into uncomfortable and hard moments rather than try to hide or ignore them. With Byrdie, I wanted to honour her brave and adventurous spirit. When I show her this picture she always recalls what happened with a sense of pride for getting through a 'really big fall'' 'It can be super hard, as parents, to be kind to ourselves. Between the unrealistic pressures we feel from the outside world and the harsh internal critics we hear inside our hearts daily, it's nearly impossible to step back and acknowledge all the positive impacts we have on our children. I am here to remind every parent that YOUR CHILDREN LOVE YOU' 'One of the ways I see this visually is how young humans watch and mirror their loved ones, especially parents. Due to the unending cycle of meal-making, dish-washing, laundry-folding, mess-cleaning, brawl-breaking, emotion-regulating, fear-alleviating and heart-tending it's quite easy to miss this. The ability to provide evidence of a child's admiration and adoration for their parents is one of the best gifts I can provide as a photographer' 'Life is messy. Parenthood is messy. Childhood is messy. To deny ourselves the freedom to share all the imperfections that come with being a human is not just harmful to ourselves but to humanity as a whole' 'I truly believe that the more we silence ourselves the more divided and disconnected our global community of family becomes. If everyone felt safe enough to share our messiness, giving and receiving the grace to be human would be so much easier' 'The role of parent is a complex one. While we do our best to always operate from our rational, reasonable, informed and prepared adult selves the truth is, the child inside of us surfaces regularly, especially during times of deep insecurity and fear. I think one of the most beautiful experiences in relationships is when we abandon our expected roles and simply show up as humans for our loved ones' Lewis has watched the effect of how parents share their life with the outside virtual world. Ultimately, this creates a feeling of isolation and loneliness, as parents are completely disconnected from the reality of their life and the tailored one online 'It is my hope that this project helps parents feel less alone, realising that their experience is shared with the global community of parents, to remind us all of how much more we are connected than divided' 'I've spent the last 15 years embedding myself into family life. I've dedicated thousands and thousands of hours observing, studying, relating to and learning from incredible parents and children from diverse communities around the world' 'At the very core of life, humans only want three things: to love, to be loved and to have a safe place to do so' 'At the heart of the human experience and what I believe we all inherently have a right to have safely and freely is relationship. Relationship to ourselves, each other and the world around us' 'My intention is that Unsupervised can serve as a bridge between strangers. When choosing which pictures would sit together on a page I intentionally chose to emphasise the idea that parents are not alone in their everyday lives' 'Ultimately my hope is that readers recognise themselves reflected back in the pictures of strangers, an overlap of shared experiences in childhood and parenthood' This photographic exploration is an attempt to reveal the similarities Lewis has witnessed by photographing her subjects' vulnerability, challenges, joy and hardships 'While the intention of this book has always been to give the global community of parents an opportunity to be seen, honoured and celebrated, this process has revealed something much more personal. At the end of the day, I created the book I needed'

Mario Kart World review – a riotous road trip for every player
I realised that we might have a Mario Kart World problem in our house when my sons ran up to me after our first few hours with the game, proudly showing off circular indentations on their little thumbs from holding down the accelerator button so hard. Mildly alarmed, I examined my own thumb to find the same evidence of getting over-absorbed in the knockabout, chaotic fun of our tournaments. You can play Mario Kart online now – even with video chat, in World – but it's just not the same as playing with people on the couch next to you. I imagine this game will revive living-room multiplayer for millions of families. God only knows how many hours I have spent racing Mario and his pals around their cartoon wonderland circuits since 1992 – this series has accompanied me through my entire life, the reliable mainstay that everyone wants to play with me, no matter how familiar they are with video games in general. I have been caught in months-long time-trial wars with my brother and my gamer friends; I have watched laughing strangers play it endlessly at the gaming pub nights that I used to run; I have dropped in and out of races over long evenings with big groups of friends; I've played it with almost everyone I've ever dated. Mario Kart World allows for all these playstyles and more, an easy-breezy social game that also lets you get extremely competitive. It comes with a veritable Disneyland of courses: ice palaces, a jungle safari, a dinosaur park, a ski slope, a spaceport themed after the 1983 arcade version of Donkey Kong. Some feel like old Mario Kart courses, with tighter turns and clever shortcuts, designed for power-sliding and boosting around the old-fashioned way. Others are wider, more scenic voyages: every course connects to several others, so you can either race laps or drive between hot-spots on what is now a massive interconnected map, letting you drive from the seaside all the way to Bowser's Castle at the top of a volcano. Outside of the races you can also roam freely, going off-road or even on to the water, hunting down hidden coins and challenges: difficult trick-courses across lava fields, an unconventional route through the sky balanced on the wings of a seaplane, timed coin-collecting. This world isn't as populous or as beautiful as something like Forza Horizon's, but it's still a trip to explore it with friends and find scenic little spots to gather together. The visual language is that of a group holiday: Polaroid snaps, stickers from local shops, regional foods. It's a shame that free-roam only works online, mind – two or more players on the same console can race together, but they can't explore together. Speaking of trips: you can still make a Mario Kart World session feel like a tournament, if you want, running laps and competing to find the best lines through particular courses. But it seems to me that the developers want you to experience it instead as a journey. The Grand Prix competitions link courses together so you're charting a course across this little continent, seeing all the sights as you go. Driving with 24 players on those wide routes from one course to another, it doesn't feel so much like a race as a chaotic road trip. This is very much the vibe in Knockout Tour, a Fortnite-style elimination race where you can go from first place to 14th in two seconds and trailing players are thrown out of the race every few minutes. The most important change, however, is not the environment, but the movement. You can now charge up a boost-jump to grind along rails, ride walls, and chain shortcuts through the more ambitious courses. This requires fighting against actual decades' worth of drift-and-boost muscle memory, and during my first days with Mario Kart World it raised the humiliating possibility that I might now be bad at it, after all these years. But once you've got the hang of it, it gives racing a new feel even for those of us who've been karting forever, adding a bit of Tony Hawk-esque flair. The cast of characters is broad and ridiculous. You can race as a cow, or a dolphin, or a new-look Donkey Kong hunkered hilariously over the steering wheel. (Nintendo's venerable ape has now taken on the look that he sported in the recent Mario movie, and dabs in the air whenever you pull off a trick – I now find him nonspecifically annoying, but then, I am old.) You unlock new vehicles all the time, and new costumes for the ones who wear clothes, primarily Mario and his friends. It is impossible not to smile at Bowser in full biker leathers kicking back on an imitation Harley. There are plenty of different assist options for kids and less skilled players, from motion-controlled steering to auto-acceleration and more: my eight-year-old could play without them, and my five-year-old was kept in the running by turning some of them on. It really is an impressively welcoming game, this, generous and detailed and unfailingly fun, different but with the same spirit. It feels like the culmination of something, a synthesis of different philosophies of fun that still nonetheless comes together. The Switch 2 itself does feel like a swish upgrade rather than an all-new console, so it's a relief that its headline game shows that Nintendo still has a talent for reinvention. Mario Kart World is available now; £74.99
