synopsis
A story about the artist Ben Wilson, who spends every weekday on the streets of North London, painting on the blobs of chewing-gum that deface London's pavements.
short fact
"I first met Ben in 2004, around the time I was in the middle of making 'Ichiai', and I immediately found him to be an unique artist. Back in 2004 he was mainly drawing long strips of abstract black and white artwork that resembled a comic in the sense that you could read them left to right. He told me about what he was about to do and I felt that I wanted to show Ben's ideas and work to a bigger audience, so I decided to follow him around as he begun this project."
