Slinkachu is a 30 years old guy from London. As he says, he’s been inactive (artistically) till 2006, when he started his project called “Little People”. This is both a street art and a photography project, Little People is the installation of model train miniatures in an urban context.

These mini-installations are then photographed and left in place, waiting to entertain  and surprise the most careful people or to be destroyed by the most distract ones. In 2008 Slinkachu started a new project, son of Little People, called “Inner City Snail” using snails as urban public transportations, used, vandalized by the Little People (snails don’t get wouded and they’re left just after the photo). The common concept with these projects is the irony that often become satire on modern society’s habits.

Little People project photos are in a book you can buy here.
