streetmemes
Have you heard of these? I noticed them 4 years ago in East Berlin, and when I went back at Christmas, they were everywhere (and quite scary)! Now I´ve seen a few (tame ones) in Madrid.
I think it´s to do with reclaiming the streets, the city for the ordinary people; it´s all reproduced artwork: computer printouts, photocopies, stencils and some of it´s very very ANGRY!!!!...I LOVE IT!!!
Here are my favourites from Berlin:
Did anyone check it was OK to take his photo?
This is part of a series - who is Linda?
Adult cartoons? Weird!
Very lonely - I think this is my favourite...
Or this?
You can put them anywhere, and they come in pairs too!
Creepy, huh?
This is the biggest I´ve ever seen.
And this, the most crowded! The entire thing was at least 3m long and 1m high.
Which is your favourite, and why?
