In "Lifestyle", Frank Kunert affectionately reduces everyday life to the absurd. The artist - a tinkerer of the highest caliber - constructs miniature scenes as unhabited as they are accurate in every detail, which he immortalizes using a large-format analogue camera. These "Small Worlds", as he calls his tiny cabinets of wonder, are situated somewhere between the grotesque and the metaphysical. The fact that they depict serious matters - unfulfilled hopes, failure, even death - with a light touch is what constitutes their charm and aluure.
