Description
Miniaturisierte Welten haben ein inspirierendes erzählerisches Potential. Sie bieten eine Erfahrung von Distanz, und Künstler benutzen sie, um Gefühle von Entfremdung oder Verdrängung zu erforschen. Die kleinen Welten versetzen uns in eine neue Dimension, in der Menschen aus Kürbissen Häuser bauen oder in Kaffeetassen schwimmen.
Dieses Buch zeigt Beispiele wie Künstler, Fotografen und Designer die miniaturisierten Welten gezielt einsetzen.
