In Toy Soldiers, Simon Brann Thorpe blurs the boundaries between
document, landscape and concept-based photography to explore this
conflict. He examines the impact and potential consequences of the
stalemate. Through real soldiers - posed as toy soldiers - he
reveals the current situation in Western Sahara, a nation in
waiting trapped in an historic cycle of colonial conflict,
displacement and endless non-resolution. The work is a unique
collaboration between Thorpe, a military commander and the men
under his command. Shot entirely on location in the isolated and
hauntingly beautiful territory known as 'Liberated Western Sahara'
it is influenced by the historic works of photographers such as
Mathew Brady, Roger Fenton and Edward Curtis. Toy Soldiers provides
a contemporary archive on the issue of non-resolution and the
paradigm of post colonial cycles of violence within modern
conflicts.
