Schwingen is a traditional Swiss wrestling, considered a national sport that becomes especially popular in the rural areas of the country. This tradition has always been associated with the adult male figure and it was not until a short time ago that women and children were able to participate in it. This mural represents the evolution and transformation of the hegemonic norm that drags from ancient traditions and is accepted as natural or inevitable just because of its antiquity. On the mural we see the fight between two local children, Matteo Suter and Vera Schlüchter who would win the fight.
The original photograph was taken by the great local photographer René Nussbaumer.
Started out hunting the streets in Antwerp, and completely bitten by the 'street art' virus. And the only cure is: HUNT SOME MORE.
I love showing people all the amazing Belgian artists, run street art tours in my city and occasionally facilitate new mural projects.
I love to travel and meet other hunters and artists. So hit me up when you're in town.
