Murals of the two consecutive (2015-2016) editions of the Wall Poetry collaboration of Berlin-based international street art network Urban Nation with the Iceland Airwaves music festival serve here as internal framework for presenting you with these and other less or equally sophisticated works in Iceland and elsewhere.
In pure Leica Da Vinci spirit of unguided discovery survey, I invite you to do just as I do in my trips: walk (electronically, to be sure), let street art surprise you at every step.
Supererò le correnti gravitazionali,
lo spazio e la luce per non farti invecchiare
Franco Battiato, La curanarrative gravity Perché sei un essere speciale,

Franco Battiato, La curaThy body permanent,
The body lurking there within thy body,
The only purport of the form thou art, the real I myself,
An image, an eidólon.
