In death, everyone is equal, and yet every death is individual. “Individual Equality” was the title Dleks (Alex Hasert) had planned for his exhibition before he met death on October 11, 2024.

“We have a DIY project in Getxo we have been trying to set up with the city for already three years now. The city council finally gave us three hours a week in a community sports center, typical for Basque Country. We are a club – Getxo Skate Kluba.

As we had finished the first building step, THE BEAUTY was ready for her first action filled night. A “MOTÖRHEAD ONLY” playlist, a bucket full of cheap, heated red wine and a good crew of friends was all we needed for an epic session.
