In the Kazakhstan capital city of Astana, there’s a large 3D map attraction of various important sites from around the country. It feels like a miniature golf course, if the amusement included hotels, dams, oil rigs, sculptures, monuments, offices, a stranded ship on a dried up sea, open pit mining, mosques. The site is part history, part architecture, part robust model making that has to survive outside through harsh winters.
Shot at certain angles and perspectives, the models take on an etherial look. The dream of the miniature makers, the dream of a nation.
