North Macedonia / StreetartOn the west side of the bridge over the Vardar River from Goce Delchev Boulevard, the Ilinden Boulevard begins. Beneath this bridge and the surrounding walls on the riverbank is a great graffiti spot. It’s not exactly a legal wall, but most of the areas along the riverbanks have been tolerated as creative spaces for many years, where you can find countless graffiti. At this location here the walls are higher and easier to paint, also the bridge provides better protection from the sun and weather, which is why the works can be seen longer around. The pillars beneath the bridge are also covered in graffiti pieces as well.

Architecture / GermanyThe photos of selected subway stations in Dortmund were taken a few years ago and the focus in these images was on the symmetrical arrangement of the underground architecture and on its geometric brutality. You can attest to an artistic concept in some stations – just like the spray can works, but it is a visual and mathematical contrast. No freestyle, but the architectural interpretation of the linear, cold functionality of buildings. Still they are charming and definitly interesting creations in urban space.
