The photographs depicts the street art scene of Stavanger, a small town on the western coast of Norway that each year hosts one of the worlds largests festivals of urban art. The controversial art-form have taken a stride from its random, and more often than not elegal, place in the streets into the institutionalized galleries and festivals. The transition brings the artists freedom from legal prosecution and limitations to the dictations of curators and collectors, and a turn from eloquent vandals to semi-anonymous fine-artists.
In this quantum leap I have found the curious contrast that emerge when world-famous artists tries to be a vandal in a gallery.
