It will also “be presented in the form of a video installation that allows the viewer to transform themselves into the first-person perspective of a graffiti artist. Symbolizing the “mind” of the graffiti artist will be a dark room installation of metal. Within this room will be a smaller black metal box in which one can see the individual video clips, or the “memories” of the graffiti artist in 3D, once the viewer places their head inside. On a 790-inch screen, this “insider’s view” gives the user the impression of being in the height of the graffiti artist’s action. The installation will be shown at select Art / Street Art and Design exhibitions. The first stop will be the BYOB (bring your own beamer) exhibition which will take place on the 20th of January at the NRW Forum in Düsseldorf, Germany.”

“Top Deck, is a series of images made over the course of two years on the top decks of east London buses giving a new a perspective on the monotony of the every day commute. The work will result in a newspaper publication and a two-week show at renowned advertising agency, Mother.
Foreword for the publication is written by journalist Justin Quirk, who writes for the Guardian and is the editor of HOUSE magazine. Here is a little excerpt:
In popular myth, Margaret Thatcher reportedly said that any man
still travelling by bus after the age of 30 could consider himself a
failure. The quote is almost certainly apocryphal, but it stuck in
the public consciousness because it sounded like the kind of thing
that an arch-conservative would say; cars were the preserve of the
rich and successful, whereas buses were how the poor, the failed
and the antisocial travelled around the city. If there’s any truth in
that distinction, then it damns an awful lot of people in London.
