Security Magnet


Branding
2024
Security Magnet is branding of places that skaters are not allowed to skate at, but proceeds to anyway. Public infrastructures propose challenges to those in the skate community that skate parks do not offer. Security Magnet not only brands these forbidden areas, but also brands the spirit of skate culture: rebelliouness and care-freeness.
