Little people


they're not pets, Susan





Artista anónimo que responde al nombre Slinkachu. Es el nuevo Banksy del arte de Londres pero en pequeñito. Su libro se empieza a ver en librerias. Sus obras todavía no las he podido ver en vivo. Hace tiempo publicamos un post suyo. Un crack. en serio un crack.

My 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place and leave on the street. It is both a street art installation project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography, and the titles I give these scenes aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed. But underneath this, there is always some humour. I want people to be able to emphasise with the tiny people in my works.
