When we were children, we were dying to grow up so that we wouldn’t have to study anymore. Going out every morning, earning money and not seeming answerable to anyone seemed so glamorous. And, now that we have finally grown up we have started to realise just how dark reality can be.
Frank Kunert shows us exactly that with his photography series ‘Small Worlds’. At first glance, the pictures seem like normal miniature art but when you take a closer look at them, you’ll realise their satirical tone.
1. The reality behind the glitz and glamour of metro cities.
2. Keep sitting and you’ll reach heaven in no time.
3. Together forever?
4. I think irony just stabbed itself.
5. The vicious circle of junk food.
6. I guess humans will do the same on the Moon, what they are doing on Earth.
7. Work: From womb to tomb.
8. The difference is shocking.
9. Step right up to control population.
10. Notice how she continues to watch TV?
11. Fake news on TV = This.
12. Sugarcoating the problem.
13. And they say wage disparity is a myth.
14. Being social < Being informed?
15. An unattainable past.
16. Closed off from the world, our selfish lives go on.
