Is the photo real? Street smart Kulturhuset Stockholm

If any of you guys pass by "Stockholms kulturhus" anytime soon, be sure not to miss the "Street smart" Exhibition. The all time controversial subject of street art and graffiti is presented as and discussed. In the late 70's when the graffiti scene was new and as a small art form at the time only in New york city, USA, closely connected with the 4 elements of hip hop. Today street art as a whole is spread all over the world, the scene is bigger then ever, but if it's an artform and should be accepted in our public space is a hotter discussion then ever.
3 of the exhibition pieces are made with my help, it's 3 classic photos from the early days in the NYC graffiti scene. These photos are photoshop'ed to trick the viewer, as two well knows Swedish graffiti artists appears within the classic photos. And the Swedish graffiti artists artwork appears instead of the original artwork.
How it was done, was the the artists built a 1x1 scale Stockholm subway car. then I took photos fitting the angle of the original subway art photos from NYC. Then a whole lot of Photoshop work was put into work. The question is, what is photos, what is the picture telling you.

Info.

Tiny Toones Cambodia uses breakdancing, Hip-Hop music, and the contemporary arts as creative tools to empower the youth of Cambodia to live healthier lives free of HIV and drugs, build a more promising future by furthering their educational opportunities, and become positive role models for their community.

Tiny Toones welcomes all youth to participate in its programs, regardless of gender, social-economic status, physical handicaps, family background, or other personal disadvantages. The education, health, and arts curriculum of Tiny Toones consists of free daily classes in English and Khmer to supplement the children's public schooling, and the integration of HIV education and drug prevention in a fun, child-friendly approach through fun games, skits, and performances.

On this last photo in front is KK. He is the founder of Tiny Toones. He was earlier extradited from USA because of involvement with Gang criminality back in the states. He is unable to return to the US. So he started Tiny Toones in Cambodia to save as many children as possible to fall victim to crime, drug, HIV. It's a heroic project he started and it's growing. Soon the whole organization will move to a bigger place in Phnom Penh, so again they need your help!
