“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”

The bizarre scenes of Wunderland relay stories from the depths of life.
Model builder and photographer Frank Kunert uses miniature
constructions for his reflections of our fears and needs, but also of our
desires. Architecture is the expression of our culture, our past, our
present and our future. The inner worlds of buildings were and
invariably are reflections of social zeitgeist and contain much of what
goes on inside and around us.
Kunert’s photographs bring home the absurdity of everyday: the
grotesque attempts to organize our lives, the way we deal with one
another and with our history. Melancholy and a warped sense of humour
are closely related in these small worlds.
This series of the photographs of miniature models was taken in the
studio with an analogue large-format camera.
