DAY 226.1 | Happy Holidays!

Frank Kunert, Climbing Holidays (2017)

Working slowly and with methodical precision, Frank Kunert (born 1963) creates miniature stage settings which he then photographs with a large-format analog camera, producing magical images of “small worlds” that have been published in previous acclaimed volumes from Hatje Cantz such as Topsy-Turvy World (2008) and Wonderland (2013).

Kunert’s works exist between the poles of slapstick and metaphysics. His new book Lifestyle presents 23 miniatures of these philosophically based stories of everyday life. 

Here, the ordinary quickly becomes absurd, tragedy veers into comedy and wit becomes ambiguous. (Amazon.com)

Frank Kunert’s Surreal Architectures

German photographer and model maker Frank Kunert explores the surreal scenes of everyday life through his meticulous handmade architectural miniatures. Kunert’s bizarre wonderlands relate stories of the depths of life and say something about people: 'They are the expression of our culture, our past, our present, and our future. The inner worlds of homes where invariably are reflections of social zeitgeist and contain much of what goes on inside and around us.'
