Füu di Frei (Feeling Free) narrates the story of a group of writers whose connection transcends the ordinary. They share the same goal: to challenge the status quo. Their impulse for breaching barriers knows no limits, and it helps them face extreme situations, such as exploring train depots at -11ºC, going through mental breakdowns, and escaping from trains in motion. Their search for freedom redefines the limits and questions their sense of risk in an environment that demands continuous adaptation and resistance.
In this context, the story reveals its Second Life, a B-side that confronts a judgemental society on those who think differently. It is by hiding their identity that the writers observe the daily routines from a whole new perspective and transform transgression into an act of authenticity that challenges the norm.
"Adversity means defiance which translates into a deeper meaning of life. Even if it causes pain at times, it is essential that we cultivate hope and trust in our ambitions. Graffiti, more specifically train graffiti, means much more than aesthetics; it is a way of living and a passion that motivates us to achieve our goals, even if they may seem unreachable. It acts not only as an incentive for creativity but also works as a vehicle of resistance and expression day after day, fight after fight. Every intervention on the trains leaves a meaningful mark and symbolises a personal and collective journey in search for recognition and authenticity." - Mark Madness.
