The Soldier Project 6.0

Aftermath

Wednesday - 4 days after the assault

7 soldiers remaining of which the scaffold of 3, 2 upside down, one hiding in a construction site and the last one proudly protecting the entrance of a street next to the comic shop nearby. There is also the remainings of another that was cutted in half during an obvious attack but still marks the place like a guardian in red.

Taking it to the streets
Saturday 25th, between 4 and 5 am

Roaming the streets. The thing that was supposed to be a pretty simple task became far more interesting due to the curious fauna Lisbon presents when the night unfolds and soon comes the dawn. I had to deal with an hungry whore, cocaine dealers, angry taxi drivers, an drunk englishman dressed as a penguin, garbage scavengers and suspicious police folk. Also after placing the first group of 4 soldiers and soon after finishing taking pictures of the second one I found myself with a group of 6 spaniards taking a loot of my first batallion. No biggie - they where placed to take as recuerdo afterall ;)

First Urban Assault

First nocturn safari around the streets of downtown Lisbon. 15 soldiers placed between Cais and Santa Catarina on the axis Cais - Flores - Bairro Alto - Bica - Santa Catarina. One single column of 4 and several doubles, an scaffold of 3 and several lonely troops scattered around the block. First move interrupted due to the unexpected lack of bat in the photo gear. Photos resumed as follow. Enjoy.

The Soldier Project 1.0

I'v started the The Soldier Project back in Bristol July 2009 after purchasing a pack of tiny troops from a saleswoman in the Saint Nicholas market. This is the first step to assume other travels in wider and more ambitious projects in the streets. Wait for the pieces - enjoy and follow ;)
