Street Art Vardø; Ethos

Street Art Vardø; Ethos
This is not the first place that comes to mind when thinking about street art. But in july 2012, Vardø hosted the world's northern most street art festival, curated by the artist Pøbel - KOMAFEST -. The purpose was to conceptualize the depopuation of northern Norway. Now three years later I tried to capture this art. At least most of the work. Some were already painted over and others I just did not find.

No you need some time. We had two days to walk and find most of the art work. But my favorite one (seen on photographs) was painted over :-(

Digamos que en esta foto, el grafiti salva la imagen, en un ambiente totalmente degradado. Maravillosa foto. Muy cordiales saludos. Eduardo.

Oh, that's interesting ! Superb graffiti here.
During my stay at Lofots last year I saw some streetart by Pøbel.
I did not know, that he's so popular, organised such a festival.

That is correct. Some of his famous art is to be found there too. Perhaps you saw this one; 500px.com/photo/123269245

No. - what a pity, this I missed.
But I took photos from some other graffs, he and his friends made in Henningsvær.
I will have look ....

This street art is fantastic, Peter. I love the 3D effect. When we lived near Stavanger for five years, there was a Newart festival in October every year. None of the art that i saw was as good as this!

It is really a treat to go around here....
You should try it once before it all disappears.
