DIY for Life

DIY对于一个滑手来说并不陌生，滑手们通常自己在城郊或是废弃的工地自己动手创造出属于自己的滑板场地，让我们跟随 Richard Gilligan的镜头看看他所记录的DIY瞬间
DIY for Life

Diy can be described as a movement within skateboarding which operates outside civic and societal norms. through the utilisation of skater-constructed spaces, which are ordinarily, an adaptation of existing, but often abandoned, terrain in both urban and rural settings, the modern skateboarder transcends the need to exist within a more conventional environment.

utilising found materials, these unauthorised and often illegal temporary constructions have fascinated photographer richard gilligan, who has spent the past four years tracking down these ephemeral spaces throughout europe and the us. his pictures show how skaters and diy builders free themselves from the constraints of societal rules, creating their own domain in which to practice this peripheral pursuit.
