Blogger Nikos Papadopoulos uses Playmobil figures to express his views
on the political and social issues he sees around him in Greece. But the
toy's German manufacturer insists the plastic figures must not be used
to make 'political statements'.
In one scene, a besuited plastic figure packs other plastic figures
into a dumpster marked "You're fired". In another, an angry plastic
priest lashes out at other plastic figures, only to pose next to a
suited man in front of a TV camera while a homeless man sleeps on a park
bench. Domestic violence is the theme in another photo.
If the context they've been placed is somewhat unusual, the
plastic figures are immediately recognisable. They are the Playmobil
characters so beloved of children. But in these photos, it's obvious
that the figures are being put to satirical use, in play with the
political, social and economic issues around us.
