Michael Wolf: The Real Toy Story

Michael Wolf's "The Real Toy Story" is an elaborate installation consisting of 20,000 toys made in China and purchased in California that Wolf attached to the walls of a gallery, along with photographs of workers making the toys in Chinese factories. The installation is a homage to China's factory workers who slave away to produce most of the world's plastic toys in unsafe factories and under exploitative conditions.

  1. Toys has been a huge part of every kid's childhood. It's just ironic that while these toys makes children happy, there are some sad facts behind them.
