Christopher Boffoli's Mini people Giant Food

When i was a child, and i used play with my toy cars i used to imagine what if i could become so small that i could sit in my little toy cars and travel through my garden, what if be the glass down my foot become like trees upon me and used to imagine the ants be like of my size...

I came across the same experience the other day we were sitting in the class and we saw the video of some artist(that i can't recall) which was playing around the camera an if it was an Rc aeroplane...That video almost remind me of the time i use to play the same way... I came  across an artist that creates these remarkable little miniature sculptures of human in abnormal environments...

The miniature people inhabiting the fine art photographs show humans live in a world of enormous food. A place where towering ice cream cones are turned into camping tents, cycling on the bananas appear to be cycling on a hill and deep sea diver love to dive in a cup of tea.

Christopher Boffoli is a photographer, writer, artist and filmmaker.  Largely self-taught, he took up photography as a hobby in his teens, honing his skills as a student journalist in high school and college.  While still an undergraduate he started his own commercial photography...

Boffoli says his work comments not only on our fascination with miniature things, but on “the American enthusiasm for excess, especially in the realm of food.”
