The aim of “Landskating anywhere” is to demonstrate and acknowledge the cultural and artistic dimension of skateboarding. Skateboarder are at one with their boards, constantly perfecting their technique and exploring new locales. Real conflicts emerge. Skateboarders are often seen as a nuisance and are only authorised to play in skateparks, seen as their designated domain. They occupy, test out, and negotiate public space. The idea is to appreciate the role of the skateboarder as a shifter of urban reality, revealing concealed spaces, gaps and surfaces. The skateboarder helps us to look at the urban landscape in new ways. More than just a sport, skateboarding is an art of movement and an urban passion. There are many examples where the skateboarder defies extreme situations, in astounding settings. These moments are filmed and photographed, highlighting the landscape.
