Microworlds
Margherita Dessanay and Marc Valli

Microworlds er en fantastisk samling av bilder av en miniatyrverden som tar oss til en ny dimensjon der vi kan finne spennende nye byer hvor folk gjør hjemmene ut av gresskar og dykker ned i frokosten din.

Fra forlaget:
Miniatures make us relive the world from the perspective of our childhood, a time when the world was populated by toys and figurines. Miniaturized worlds seethe with narrative potential, intricate story lines, suspense. They offer a disquieting experience of distance, and artists often use it to explore very contemporary feelings of alienation, displacement and estrangement. This book reveals how all kinds of visual artists (contemporary artists, street artists, photographers and even product designers) are using miniatures and miniaturized worlds in order to create startling situations and memorable
images. The small people and small worlds featured give us a new sense of perspective, transporting us to a new
dimension where we can find enchanted new cities, where people make homes out of pumpkins or go diving into breakfast bowls. Microworlds is a fascinating collection of images for anyone intrigued by these miniature, imagined worlds.
