EP4: Alex Fakso // With One Eye Open

Episode 4 takes place in London, UK, diving into the extensive archive of Alex Fakso, a graffiti photographer active since the early 1990s. The episode moves through decades of work, revealing the evolution of his visual language and the consistency of his perspective.

As the archive unfolds, Fakso’s approach becomes clear. His photography goes beyond documentation, using framing, proximity, and tension to push images outside their boundaries. The work reflects movement, urgency, and confrontation, mirroring the environments in which it is created.

This episode highlights photography as an extension of graffiti’s rebellious core. Fakso’s images carry political weight, challenge authority, and refuse neutrality. Through his archive, the series explores how photography can preserve not just actions, but attitudes — with one eye open, always alert to what lies beyond the frame.
