Mr. Plasticobilism challenges people to think about the woes of Greek society with scenes that use some of their favorite toys.
Papadopoulos, 36, was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, and he initially
worked as an astrophysicist, a remedial high school teacher and a
scriptwriter. For the past two years, he has been using toys to
challenge people to think about the woes of Greek society amid the
financial crisis.
Instead of seeing Playmobil figures as firefighters, pirates,
policemen and doctors, he transforms them into protagonists of Greek
society. They re-enact events of everyday life, situations that cause
distress and ideals that he believes should not be forgotten.
Papadopoulos has portrayed German Chancellor Angela Merkel and German
Minister of Finance Wolfgang Schäuble, who've played key roles in the
European Union's handling of the financial crisis, as well as empty cash
machines, extremist right-wing party Golden Dawn, the July referendum
on the international bailout and the ongoing refugee crisis.
