Miniatures make us relive the world from the perspective of our childhood, a time when the world was populated by toys & figurines. Miniaturized worlds seethe with narrative potential, intricate story lines, suspense. They offer a disquieting experience of distance, & artists often use it to explore very contemporary feelings of alienation, displacement & estrangement. This book reveals how all kinds of visual artists (contemporary artists, street artists, photographers & even product designers) are using miniatures & miniaturized worlds in order to create startling situations & memorable images. The small people & 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. ...
