Tourists are sometimes surprised when their mental image of a pristine Switzerland, or even Zurich, isn’t fully reflected in reality. For decades, the city has had an active street art and graffiti scene that occasionally garners notoriety, with crews like KCBR often trying to outdo one another in spectacle. Generally, tags and graffiti are spread all over town.

In Oerlikon, the scene feels more subdued. Still, even without lettering, the markings convey a clear sense of symbolism and local identity.
