I SPY 3D Sets

with the likes of levitating toys and plush clouds, i never pieced it together that the "photographic illustrations" of I SPY were not photoshop but rather insanely detailed physical sets made by creator of the classic, Walter Wick.

pulling from Wick’s collection of 20,000+ miniatures, each set contains 100-300 objects. i really enjoy kitschy miniature models from a theoretical perspective: what does it mean to craft a space for it to be looked at from a single angle (that's not normal, guys), what are the ways in which this logic is less fictitious and actually undergirding your day to day? yeah the image keeps kids in doctors offices busy but how about the gal out on the town...!
