The effect is due to the depth of field, or rather lack of it. We 
associate very shallow depth of field with close-ups or in other 
words, small objects.

That why, when the Hologon for the Leica came out I got it to take 
pictures of architectural models. The Leica with lens could fit into 
small spaces, and especially along streets at intersections of 
models, and the great depth of field made the photos look less like 
models and more 'real'.
