Or a desk has a built-in bed for the much-desired office nap. And the outdoor toilet is located further away than one might hope for in an emergency—namely, on the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKunert, a model builder and photographer, creates images of this kind in weeks of painstaking attention to detail, lending expression to the grotesque outgrowths of civilized life that is as humorous and exhilarating as it is profound. The ambivalence between tragedy and humour piques the artist time and again and permeates his surreal-looking visual worlds in an inexhaustible variety of ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMelancholy and skewed wit are closely related in this wonderland of absurdities—surprising and thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596436324588,"sku":"9783775735834","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/817dad5c363f4b207fb3fb473d8e29c6.jpg?v=1777929200","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/frank-kunert-9783775735834","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
