British artist with a strange name Slinkachu already known to readers Culturology thanks to its unusual graffiti on snails. Given that the graffiti is painted on snail shells, you can imagine the approximate size of the drawings. So it is not surprising that another project of this extraordinary artist is also small in size. It is called Little people project, and its beginning is rooted in the not so distant 2006. For four years, the artist has been creating and then photographing tiny figures of people and animals on the streets of London, creating completely earthly situations for them. The same that big people get into.
Lonely crumbs on huge and noisy streets are you and me, the artist believes. Despite the fact that there are a lot of people around, that life boils and splashes over the edge, in our souls we are still lonely and defenseless. Everyone has their own affairs and problems, and we do not care about the problems of others. Leaving his crumbs on the curbs and parapets of London, attaching them to brick walls and window sills, shop windows and bus stops, Slinkachu watched how people would react to them … but no one noticed the sculpture. This is how the theory of loneliness in a big city was confirmed.
A lot of the Little People Project photos and other works can be seen on the Slinkachu website.
