Streetography: On Visual Resistance

As cultural techniques within the urban environment, Graffiti and Street Art are investigated by many disciplines. Mostly art historical studies have explored the contradictory relationship between Street Art and the art market. My research is inspired by the approaches of Visual Culture Studies and their critique of the central perspective; furthermore by Mirzoeffs concept of 'neovisuality' describing actual fields of power constituting themselves in a permanent crisis that demands and legitimizes control and surveillance. The analysis applies these issues as methods for finding new ways of seeing and discussing Graffiti and Street Art in form and content, also questioning their potential as a countervisuality.

Space and Culture, 2018

Space and time structure our experience of reality, so we can choose to modify our perceptions by approaching the objects of our cognition from different vantage points. I will attempt to show that Street Art insinuates itself into the cracks of a spatially top-tobottom and temporally linear view of reality, which is the dominant model in Western societies.

Visualizing the Street New Practices of Documenting, Navigating and Imagining the City, 2018

From user-generated images of streets to professional architectural renderings, and from digital maps and drone footages to representations of invisible digital ecologies, this collection of essays analyses the emergent practices of visualizing the street. Today, advancements in digital technologies of the image have given rise to the production and dissemination of imagery of streets and urban realities in multiple forms. The ubiquitous presence of digital visualizations has in turn created new forms of urban practice and modes of spatial encounter. Everyone who carries a smartphone not only plays an increasingly significant role in the production, editing and circulation of images of the street, but also relies on those images to experience urban worlds and to navigate in them. Such entangled forms of image-making and image-sharing have constructed new imaginaries of the street and have had a significant impact on the ways in which contemporary and future streets are understood, imagined, documented, navigated, mediated and visualized. Visualizing the Street investigates the social and cultural significance of these new developments at the intersection of visual culture and urban space. The interdisciplinary essays provide new concepts, theories and research methods that combine close analyses of street images and imaginaries with the study of the practices of their production and circulation. The book covers a wide range of visible and invisible geographies – From Hong Kong’s streets to Rio’s favelas, from Sydney’s suburbs to London’s street markets, and from Damascus’ war-torn streets to Istanbul’s sidewalks – and engages with multiple ways in which visualizations of the street function to document street protests and urban change, to build imaginaries of urban communities and alternate worlds, and to help navigate streetscapes.

Folie) "The difference between sender and receiver, between producer and consumer of signs, must remain total, as within it lies the real form of social power." Beaudrillard, 1978 The title of this paper "Street Art -questioning power and control in urban spaces" evokes the question: who's the one in charge in public spaces?

In this paper, the relations between Art, Urban Space and the City will be discussed. From these, I aim to understand how urban public space can be configured through the ways in which it connects with the city and the artistic field -namely in what concerns art in the public space.
