Test tubes commonly seen in laboratories are often filled with potions and reagents. However, Amsterdam designer Rosa de Jong ingeniously put a surreal world into a long transparent test tube, with various materials floating in the air. buildings, constructing a miniature and exquisite world.
It is not easy to build a miniature building, let alone put it into a test tube with a narrow space. You must pay more attention to the size and structure of the building to avoid getting stuck or damaged halfway.
The materials used by Jong are somewhat unexpected, such as white paper, cardboard, branches, moss, etc. They are not as strong as expected, but unexpectedly suitable for various styles of architecture, like a fairy tale Colorful white houses with spires, modern metropolitan buildings,Or an ordinary water tower on a high place.
Rosa de Jong named this series of works Micro Matter. In the photos, each building seems to be standing on the edge of the world, being "protected" by test tubes, so as not to slip into the earth. Is it the independence that Jong deliberately created, or is it a foresight to prevent the surreal world from sinking into the secular world and collapsing?
