At this year’s Roskilde Festival, festivalgoers can experience You are in control – an interactive mural by Dutch graffiti artist Tripl. This is not just something to look at. Inspired by tactile children’s books, the mural invites you to press, pull or turn – and watch the image shift and come alive before your eyes.
Located at Fencewalk near Arena, the mural engages passersby with a choice: observe from a distance or step closer and activate it. Each interaction triggers movement or change – a glimpse of another reality. In Tripl’s utopia, the audience is in charge.
Tripl is known for being highly active in the train graffiti scene. With his conceptual approach, he combines traditional graffiti with optical illusions and stop-motion techniques. In 2024 he released the book Repainting Subway Art, showcasing a decade-long project he worked on between 2013 and 2023, where he completely repainted and re-enacted the influential book Subway Art from 1984. Tripl's interpretation has been praised as the best graffiti book of 2024 and the project itself is something the world has never seen before.
