Torn - A Street Art Project

June 2023

Torn - Images from the Underground. A project about Street Art that accidentally finds you.

I have always been fascinated by the technique of Collage. Tearing apart different kinds of papers and other materials and putting them together again, re-arranging them and creating a new contextual meaning has kept me busy for hours in my teenage years.

When I began taking pictures out in the streets, I started by capturing interesting sticker compositions or random advertisements which caught my attention through scriptures or other strong, visual effects. Soon enough, my eyes were noticing spontaneous Collages in the streets again: torn layers of advertisements, randomly pasted over with new material, some stickers or quick drawings added by people who had passed by - Individual traces of instant interaction. A fascinating, while at the same time spontaneous and rebellious piece of Street Art - the kind I really love capturing!

It´s an ongoing project - so stay curious! I will keep you updated…
