Adam Kraft – Two-Story Shack

“Slussen is the name of a place in Stockholm where the people of the city gather, a traffic hub where north meets south. It’s a crossroads and a meeting point. At this place, a small camouflaged hut squats on the sidewalk. Inside, you find a hatch in the floor that opens to a tunnel network, which takes you down and around. This clandestine hut is also called Slussen. It’s a passage between the below and the above.”
from Slussen – Adams / urban-art.info

Since the room was constructed in 2005, it has been an ongoing task to maintain and repair it. The hut was closed off by the authorities in 2008, but since then it has been reclaimed and reconstructed. The last reconstruction from it was a hidden access under a nearby wooden staircase that made a two-story shack out of the Slussen hut.

The publication Two-Story Shack by Adam Kraft is about this final phase in Slussen. The box has a special design, to resemble a solid block of plywood when closed. When you find the way to open the box, it contains a text and a drawing of the location, but also five photos by Swedish photographer Gunnar Smoliansky (*1933–†2019) from this unique place.
