Tracing KEGR
(2019)- Abstract
- As a researcher, I have spent countless hours hunting for tags.

This video illustrates a search for tags by the Danish graffiti writer KEGR at the outskirts of Malmö, Sweden. In addition, through overlays it attempts to communicate to the viewer the process of recollecting previously-found tags by this writer in Malmö, as well as other tags and phrasings I have seen in conjunction with KEGR’s tag, either in person, in printed publications or in social media posts. The video is part of a larger research project on graffiti and visual research methods. (Less)
