For Fotograf Festival #12: No one belongs here more than you, Ulf Aminde has developed a series of images based on pictures of activist interventions found on the internet. The pictures document the markings of fashion shops that offer clothes with typical right-wing symbols and labels. The activist markings scandalize the presence of the far-right symbolism in the public space. Splashes of colour meant as a visual attack at the messages encoded in the symbols and brands appealing to neo-Nazi supporters have two kinds of effect: they partially cover the advertising while at the same time attracting attention toward it. Ulf Aminde’s enlarged photos resulting from the “murals” question the relationship between activist politics and aesthetics.
