  • Visual Gypsyism

  • Avoid the descriptive

  • Cause communication breakdown

  • Let the observer build

  • Focus on the atmosphere

  • Build aesthetics even with silences

  • Propose new compositional ideas

  • Define your way of telling

  • Push the boundaries of associations

  • Make open contradiction your trademark

  • Stimulate new visual codes

  • Don't be secretive about the filth on the street

  • Open up new avenues on the road

  • Street is your resistance
