The Skatorialist
Directed by Singapore resident Juffrie Friday, The Skatorialist sees a skateboarder take to Singapore’s Central Business District armed with just a board and decked out in a flashy suit. The Business District is the beating heart of Singapore’s economy and home to 176,000 workers; the area is constructed with marble ledges, stairs and there are banks at almost every corner of the district, providing an ideal playground for skateboarders. In Juffrie’s video for The Urban Playground, he has played with the dichotomy of the traditional perspective of the boarder vs. working society to stunning effect.
