"Graffiti Van", Friday, 12 December 2014@Dulwich
I went for a walk around Dulwich, with a friend I didn't see in more than a year, and we found this van. On the driver's side window there was a paper saying: “Tags, Graf, Stickers, Welcome! Find a space or make it your own. Not on windows, lights, mirror glass or tires, please”.
This concept was interesting because it was quite liberal, despite of being specifically restricted to graffiti language.
I wondered if the van was just stuck in that place all the time. Was it there since a year ago or only some months? I was also curious about how much longer was it going to stay there. I suddenly imagined that van in 1000 years, absolutely covered in paint. It would be entertaining to make a documentary about the process and observe the changes in graffiti culture over the years.
This van was a mobile three-dimensional canvas with a great accumulation of paint. It was a collaborative painting made by strangers, in public space.
