Little People, Big World: Slinkachu Photographs Toy Figurines In Urban Landscapes:
“Dead Leaves,” Embankment, London
“Balancing Act,” Khayelitsha Township, Cape Town, South Africa
On his website, Slinkachu explains, “The scenes I set up … 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 empathize with the tiny people in my works.
The artist is currently touring Europe and the US promoting his most recent book, “Little People: Global Model Village,” a compilation of his most notable works. For more info, check out his website.
