The artist creates miniature dioramas every day for 11 years (22 photos)

Imagine the picture: people have become tiny and everyone around objects became huge for them. How would we live? Building houses from improvised things in an attempt to hide from giant insects? Would do wedding ring pools?





Japanese Tatsuya Tanaka fantasizes about this topic every day. Without exaggeration. Since 2011, the artist has been creating 7 days a week dioramas showing tiny people living in a world of huge things.

Tatsuya creates funny scenes using all kinds of materials, that you can imagine: from all kinds of food to stationery accessories and electronics.

The artist manages to breathe new life into ordinary things, using them in unexpected situations. Glasses become ponds, waffles - bookshelves, and electronics remotes - cities and ferries.







On his website, the artist writes:

“Everyone must have had similar thoughts. Broccoli and parsley sometimes resemble a forest, and the leaves of real trees floating on the surface of the water, sometimes resemble boats.

"Daily life, viewed from a miniature point of view, can inspire a lot of funny thoughts. I decided to use these images and capture them with photographs.

“I started my Miniature Calendar in 2011. On the photographs that I take depict figures of people surrounded by essentials. As in the usual daily calendar, pictures are updated daily on my website miniature-calendar.com and Instagram page*”.
