Michael Wolf, The Real Toy Story
"The project was conceived in the spring of 2003 during a visit to the United States. As a surprise for my son Jasper, I bought a sack (app. 600) of second hand toys at the local goodwill store and distributed them on every available surface in his room - surprise! The effect was stunning. As we examined the toys closer we made a discovery – every single one was made in China. Jasper observed: "I thought Santa and his helpers made toys!" It was then the idea came to me: what if I was to make an installation and cover an entire wall with toys "made in China” and juxtapose them with portraits of Chinese toy-factory workers?"
