TRACES – Stockholm

Thomas Karl-Johan Gunnarsson is a Stockholm based photographer who found TagsAndThrows in the 2010s, a social media channel solely focusing on tags and throw-ups. With his narrow thematic concept and the decision to show the illegal works exclusively in black and white photos he managed to reach a broad audience by constantly broadcasting international content from top notch writers.

The first book (TRACES – Copenhagen) focuses on the capital of Denmark. Now the second book TRACES – Stockholm spotlights street activities in the Swedish capital over a 25-year time span. In the zero-tolerance city buffing almost happens on a daily basis so the shown photos are relics of already gone works. Besides action shots the content is packed with the full spectrum of surfaces like trucks, doors, electric boxes, shutters, fences, etc. Since there is no chronological order the pages mimic a stroll through the city while usual local suspects pass your way as well as international visitors.
