The original image from which the drawing was processed seen in juxtaposition with a broader view gives a sense of the fragile magic of Slinkachu's delightful work, transient interventions into the urban landscape, & also the fascinating tension between the photographs themselves & the manner in which they explore scale, the different & contrasting truths they reveal.



Soundtrack:


Belle & Sebastian 'The Life Pursuit' & 'Push Barman to Open Old Wounds'
