Taken by a vandal

January 10th, 2012

“Taken by a vandal gives new access to the excitement of this form of art. Filmed in 3D-technique and from the ego perspective 18 clips show actions of selected artists. Graffiti seen as through the eyes of the actor.”

It will also “be presented in the form of a video installation that allows the viewer to transform themselves into the first-person perspective of a graffiti artist. Symbolizing the “mind” of the graffiti artist will be a dark room installation of metal.  Within this room will be a smaller black metal box in which one can see the individual video clips, or the “memories” of the graffiti artist in 3D, once the viewer places their head inside.  On a 790-inch screen, this “insider’s view” gives the user the impression of being in the height of the graffiti artist’s action.  The installation will be shown at select Art / Street Art and Design exhibitions.  The first stop will be the BYOB (bring your own beamer) exhibition which will take place on the 20th of January at the NRW Forum in Düsseldorf, Germany.”
