Slinkachu is a British street artist, who became famous for his Little People, an exhibition of minature figures placed in everyday situations, upon various streets of London. The figures are placed, all set up in their positions and left for passers by to find. They could be set up in a number of different urbansituations, for example, capturing them sight seeing, grocery shopping, camping or sailing.The only record Slinkachu keeps of the figures are photographs, before leaving them in the big wide world. However, his photographs are key, as the close up shots make you feel like a participant, whilst the distanced shots leave you feeling like a spectator. Other projects have included the Inner City Snail, for which he used a non toxic paint to graffiti upon living snails, before photographing them transversing. He spoke about his fondness for minatures saying, "I like the idea that almost no one sees my work. For we all ignore, intentionally or unintentionally, much of what surrounds us in the city."
"Oddly enough, even when you know they are just hand painted figurenies, you can't help but feel their pligts convey something of our own fears about being lost and vulnerable in a big, bad city." - The Times. This is the same feeling we'd like our music video to create. We want the viewers to engage and sympathse with the two little characters, and begin to see them as two people rather than models. This is our ultimate goal.
Nothing too ambitious then Hannah.
