We plan on doing this by filling the cafe with toy soldiers to represent that huge amount of soldiers that were involved in the 4th Battalion. “The manipulation of the material landscape in it’s own right, the artist adding, removing or displacing materials- marking, cutting, rearranging – to create sculpture. drawing out the relationships between existing characteristics of site and evidence of human evidence”. During our perfromance we manipulate eighty three of the toy soldiers as we shall be painting them red over the course of 83 minutes in order to show how many soldiers died from the Lincoln Regiment during the 4th Battalion.
