"Guilherme Peters" 2018

Skateboarding is an essential component of everyday street culture, very close to architecture and urban space, as it feeds on its materiality, corners, walls, edges, boardwalks, benches, etc. Investigating a series of portraits of the women and men who skate, the architecture of São Paulo is revealed through the daily cohabitation and friction between buildings, people and skates.
