Situations

Street art, characters, places? Hard to tell apart sometimes — often not even necessary — and yet somehow a category all its own.

Situations of and with special characters in special places simply multiply each other. The result is often not composable, not conceivable, not reproducible; not beautiful or ugly, not right or wrong — it just lives in its own world of absurdity and funny reality.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a situation here…

A long shadow across a flea-market street
A Coca-Cola sign and passing legs at a market
A man with a barbecue barrel, in black and white
A jar of snake wine on a table
Trees along a blue wooden fence
A motorbike and a lamp at dusk
A ghostly face, blurred by motion
Train tracks glinting at night
A bus driver on the phone, in black and white
A soap bubble over a crowd, shot on a fisheye
A warm-lit alley at night
Hands under blue light
Football fans crowded on a bench
A night street glowing orange, an iron railing's shadow
A turquoise gate and a painted fence
A man cooking at a blue-lit street stall
A night alley with a cat and a Coca-Cola sign
A street-food vendor at a flaming grill
An empty wheelchair against a wall
A cat asleep on a curb
A man in lederhosen at a flea market, in black and white
A bicycle on gravel
Two men behind a flea-market stall
An old man carrying framed pictures across a flea market
