Your traditional snow globe contains a cute little wintry scene, maybe a house, a snowman, people playing in a wintry wonderland. What Walter and Paloma create is a little different!
Walter and Paloma have been working together since 1993. They create miniature figures and set them in snowy outside scenes, often depicting something somewhat disturbing. The snow globes are part of their Travelers series. Only 250 signed globes were made, and searching online suggests that they sell for about $750!

Hey Claire
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Will you be making a habitat for your little people?
Best

they are, aren't they!
ReplyDeleteI don't intend to create any habitat, no. I simply plan to use depth of field to try and create an illusion of reality, so that the viewer doesn't see at first that it is a tiny model in a big world..... Hoping for some dry weather this week so I can do the first shoot!
