Advertisement spaces in Stockholm are very controlled. There are strict rules and regulations concerning who and what is able to be advertised. But who should have the power to decide this? And what do people in Stockholm really think about the stuff being advertised? Should there be more spaces in Stockholm where the citizens are able to put up there own 'advertisements' in the form of pictures, illustrations or messages? Is it necessary for the citizens to have a greater say in what is being advertised in Stockholm?On December 15th 2009, a grafitti performance took place on Plattan, Sergelstorg, where people were asked to illustrate how they would use the advertisement space if it were their own and what freedom of speech meant to them within this space. This performance questions the power and value of the existing advertisment spaces and its' messages, and uses the power of our body in order to do so.
