{ Little People - a tiny street art project }

Keep an eye on Little People, a tiny street art project which gained immediate consent all over the European blogsphere (and some paper press as well). As by title, this project is about little handpainted people, left in London to fend for themselves. And these people are not little: they are pretty much tiny, almost microscopical, smaller than a one penny coin. Our miniature versions, like us, commute on the tube reading the newspaper, take the elevator to reach the office, sit on the riverside in suit and tie contemplating time passing, work in road construction, help tourists with the typical "I was here" photo, but they also live pretty surreal adventures. They are scattered all around the city, mostly outdoor, where they have to fight against perils like burning cigarette butts, hungry flies, sticky chewed gum and even a teenage dinosaur. But the biggest danger is people's indifference for these mini humans, living their own life parallel to ours, going unnoticed by everybody but the most careful of us.
