Shoulder-level view at a natural standing height, slightly to one side, of a group of tiny model-railway figures working on a giant wooden desk. The miniature figures, dressed in simple blue work overalls, are assembling a large collage of landscape photographs, using oversized scissors and glue sticks as if they were heavy tools. A tiny ladder leans against a rolled-up print of a waterfall in the background, and a small hard hat rests on a stack of uncut photo prints nearby. A spill of yellow liquid that looks like paint but is actually coffee pools on the wood surface near their feet. The 135mm lens from across the room isolates the main figure against a melted background, creating three clear layers of depth: the near foreground with the tools, the middle ground with the figures, and the far background with the ladder and prints. Light from a projector beam cuts through the air, with dust floating in it and the colours of the projected image falling across the wooden desk and the figures. Shot on a medium format digital camera with a 135mm lens, capturing fine grain and shallow depth of field with a warm, hazy color cast.
