The book showcases architectural photography by Karl Grøndal from the period 2015 - 2025.

“History is encapsulated in architecture. Ideologies and technological innovations are materialized as architectural languages. I have captured iconic masterpieces, but also more prosaic, anonymous buildings. Experiments with material, space and meaning can sometimes be found in the most unexpected of places.”

- Karl Grøndal

“I love the raucous quality of street art. I’m particularly attracted to walls where art, vandalism and decay have created a layered and textured aesthetic. Street art is territorial demarcations, memorials, subversive messages, competitive sabotage and political protests. An anti-authoritarian art form and sub-culture in perpetual opposition to the established aesthetic norms and societal power structures. The city walls have always been where the politically oppressed and the cultural vanguard express themselves.”
