Yan Gross, the Swiss photographer and skateboarder–in an interview with South African journalist, Sean O'Toole, in Frieze (January/February 2011)–mocking the reaction of journalists, photographers and filmmakers, who flocked to Kampala, Uganda, after his self-published photoseries of a small group of local skateboarders, gained attention outside Uganda. "It was hard to deal with all these people. The suburb wasn't meant to become a touristic place or a zoo."
