Security Magnet
Branding
2024Security 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.
