Budapest street art



This is a perfect piece of street art, as ephemer as it gets. It is drawn in the dust, that is on the the window of this house, in Síp street. I took this photo ca. a week ago.
The style is familiar, I met this guy two years ago in Sirály, he was going in high school, aged 17 or so. He often works in the 7th district, (the Jewish district) drawing big faces around ununderstandable street phenomena...

The situation in this district from the street artists point of view: we are powerless - like this house, the windows of which are tiled from inside. Beyond the potential political hint it refers to human existence in general.



"Once everything is going to nrut good" - Király utca, opposite Sirály.

This is between street art and graffiti.

The empty space behind it was lately used by the galery opposite (Boulevard és Brezsnyev" for charity book fairs, and for performances at openings. Now it is standing empty - I really hope they wont open a bank here...
Interesting is the location and surface of the graffiti. It is on the level of the street evoking the perspective of the homeless, those who do not have power or influence about what is happening "above" them.

Besides it evokes the worst epidemic of humanity - people beleive things gonna work out from themself ... and don't do enough to change things ... (the best literary example fro this is: Imre Kertész: Fatelessness)
