This was once the view from my kitchen window. Someone sprayed "Sex" onto the wall. It was there for months. I found it really fascinating to think about the reason - why would you spray that? Sex. Just Sex. No exclamation mark. Nothing. Just sex. I always thought about spraying a question mark to it. And then I had the idea of taking photos of the most interesting characters passing by those letters everyday. All sorts of ages and religions - I thought what a great juxtaposition. Especially with Religion Sex still seems to be such a tabu topic. Of course as we all know a really hypocritical and outdated approach.

Unfortunately just a few days after starting the project the council cleaned the wall. Koitus interruptus that was.
