Slinkachu

The simplest way to describe Slinkachu is as a London-based artist who creates very small street-based installations and then photographs them: from far away and up-close. He could also be described as a miniaturist. He modifies tiny human figurines from model train sets and places them in real urban situations, capturing them sight-seeing, camping, grocery shopping, fighting and dying. A tiny man in a suit holds a spent life-sized matchstick and gazes at his now scorched car (called "Company Car"). A miniature man holding a rifle, who has seemingly just shot a life-sized bee, says to his crouching daughter, "They're not pets, Susan."
