PØBEL'S HOUSE STOLEN (Blown Away)





Well now we've seen it all. Seems someone (The wind. Ed) took a liking to a Pøbel piece up in Lofoton and stole (Blew away) one whole side of a house. The house is part of the ongoing project "Ghetto Spedalsk" which has seen Dolk and Pøbel creating oversized stencils on abandoned buildings in the Northern countryside to highlight the decline and lack of support for these local communities in favour City development.

Update : Seems the area was hit by a pretty heavy storm, well actually, seems the whole area is hit by them for months on end, for ever. Might also explain the shift from country to city living I guess. I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down... cue giant stencil of three little pigs !

Anyway, good excuse to roll out the very impressive video again.

Check out the article here

Video below for those not aware of the project.
