Miniature Workers by Slinkachu Raise Unemployment Awareness

Miniature Workers by Slinkachu Raise Unemployment Awareness
The 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place, photograph 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. 
London-based artist slinkachu has installed a series of quirky miniature scenes around the city of paris, in promotion of react debates organized by the european parliament, which tackle the problems of unemployment in europe.
