Péter Csákvári, akaTiny Wasteland, is a brilliant artist who transforms small parts of his world with miniature figures who are seemingly going about their lives in tiny worlds.
These simple, yet brilliant photographs, give a new perspective and seemingly conjure up a wonderful fictional world. With each image, you may imagine these little people going about their business while our giant belongings are just a part of their surroundings.
We’ve collected some of our favourites for you to enjoy but be sure to check out Tiny Wasteland onFacebookandInstagramfor more.
Art and work
Péter Csákvári says that making these miniature worlds came about when he started doing food photography with a macro lens then realised he could do more.
As the passion progressed, he bought a3D printerto craft his own tiny figures to place into these imaginary worlds.
Coca-Cola tables
Péter Csákvári’s passion has gone on to become his livelihood. He exhibits all over the world while using his talents for adverts as well.
Smoking kills
We like the detail of this image and the simple horrors of it.
In an ashtray, several tiny people in hazmat suits are seemingly inspecting the aftermath of a fire caused by cigarettes.
In the middle, a tiny burnt body draws their attention and this art tells a bigger, more poignant story about the dangers of smoking.
Laying pipe
These tiny workmen are clearly making the most of what’s at hand. Where we giant humans now frown on plastic straws due to their impact on the environment, these men are using them for pipe works.
Sponge volleyball
Beach volleyball has nothing on sponge volleyball. Just imagine playing on a sponge like this. No sand getting places it shouldn’t and you’ve basically got a bouncy surface to jump high on.
Microgardening
It’s fun imagining these tiny gardeners working hard on their greens. At a micro level, they’re managing the growth but they’ll also be in danger from insects from snails to slugs.
Fish tank in a train carriage
It seems like these tiny people are brilliantly resourceful. Here they’ve converted a tiny train carriage into a fish tank. Naturally, this image also points to the possibility of the small people having a railway system of their own too.
Food construction
It seems that a lot of effort goes into something simple as making some food. So much so that even a forklift needs to be bought in to help.
Canned people
Imagine opening up a can and expecting to find some tuna only to discover two people sitting on a park bench staring back at you.
Narcissists
Even these tiny people are narcissists it seems. This one was caught on camera casually snapping a selfie in front of a dead bird.
The image also tells a story of the damage the human race is doing to the world and the animals who inhabit it.
